Distributing zakah funds to the mujahideen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to use zakah funds to buy blankets and send them to the mujahideen?
Answer:
There is no objection; the correct view is that there is nothing wrong with it. If the zakah is spent on clothing for the poor, or on food for the poor, and the poor people may not spend the money on what is appropriate—such as children, the foolish, or the disabled—then if the zakah is spent on food for them, or on clothing for them, the correct view is that there is no blame.
