Question:
If a group of people, for example, gather a specific amount of zakah funds to purchase a house for poor orphans, is this permissible, or is it not permissible, O Shaykh?
Answer:
There is no objection; they may purchase a house with it, or rent a house for the orphans; there is nothing wrong with it, yes; because the need for housing is pressing, yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
