Using interest funds on Madrasah students
Question
Can interest money be given to Zakaatable Madrasah students book their tickets to go home?
Answer
The recipients of interest are individuals that are eligible to receive Zakaat. However, we advise that poor students should be assisted with Zakaat and Lillah funds to book their tickets to return home. Avoid using Haraam funds on students that are studying Deen.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
