Q: His Eminence Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz, the Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the Committee of Senior Scholars and the Department of Islamic Research and Ifta.
What is your opinion regarding the Joint Center for Prosthetic Limbs, Assistive Devices, and Disability Rehabilitation Programs distributing some of the voluntary charity and zakah received from wealthy individuals who wish to give it through the center, to purchase devices for poor disabled people?
A: If the disabled people are poor and have no one to provide for them, there is no harm in accepting zakah for them and spending it on their needs through their agent.
