Giving Zakah to disabled poor people
Q: We would like to inform Your Eminence that the Home for Children with Disabilities in Riyadh is the first project established by the Charitable Society for Children with Disabilities in Riyadh. We are a non-governmental charitable society, funded by donations and grants from citizens, companies, and institutions. The society offers treatment, care, and rehabilitation to children with disabilities from birth to 12 years old, and provides them with food, drink, shelter, and clothing during their stay in the society's home. All these services (Part No. 9; Page No. 464) are provided free of charge. It should be noted that most of these children belong to families of low and limited income that have a right to receive Sadaqah (voluntary charity).We would like to have an answer for the following question: Is it permissible for the society to use the Zakah money for the treatment, care, and rehabilitation of these children with disabilities who belong to poor families and need care? We hope to receive some advice from you, and may Allah reward you with the best!
A: There is no prohibition against using the Zakah money and spending it on children with disabilities from poor families.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
