Zakah on money saved to pay the tribe's blood money


A: If the reality is as you mentioned, there is no Zakah due on that money, as it has the same ruling as a Waqf (endowment), whether it is frozen or put to work in a business. Moreover, it is not (Part No. 9; Page No. 292) permissible to pay Zakah into this fund, as it is not dedicated for the poor or any of the other potential recipients of Zakah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
