Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q202: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on spending zakah on the Islamic centers and schools spread throughout the world?
A202: No, not zakah. As for donations that are not zakah, there is nothing wrong with them. Likewise, specific charity for the poor is spent on what it is designated for. As for general donations, there is nothing wrong in giving from them to the workers in these centers or these associations.
