Organizations using zakaat money to pay for admin fees and madrasah fees
Question
Some organizations take Zakaat money and use it to pay admin fees and madrasah fees. Is this allowed?
Answer
If it is with the consent of the recipient, the bursary of the student will be valid and the zakaat will be discharged. It is incorrect to use zakaat for admin fees.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
