Discharging Zakaat to Shias?
Question
Q. Can Zakaat be given to Shia families?
Answer
Zakaat can only be given to Muslims. Shias who believe in the Qur’an being incomplete and slander Aaishah (Radiyallahu Anha) are not Muslims and cannot be given Zakaat.
And Allah Knows Best

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