Zakaat Money Changing Many Hands
Question
If I give my zakaat to A to give it for me, they then give it to B to take it to the bank (organisation) or to an Aalim. B could be a non-muslim. It is possible that I do not know of it changing so many hands. Is my zakaat valid?
Answer
Yes. As long as the zakaat money reaches the recipient.
