The questioner : Is it permissible to distribute zakah to Qur'an memorization circles?

The Shaykh : Yes. It is not permissible to distribute zakah to the circles of the Qur'an associations unless it is given to the poor among the students, and they are given it because of their poverty, not because of their studies. There is no harm in this.
