As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakah) are only for the Fuqara’ - TopicsExpress



          

As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakah) are only for the Fuqara’ (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah’s Cause (i.e. for Mujahidun - those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise. [Quran 9:60] Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Mughni (2/280): It is not permissible to spend zakah on anything other than what Allah has mentioned here, such as building mosques, bridges and aqueducts, maintaining roads, shrouding the dead, providing hospitality to visitors and other acts of charity that Allah did not mention here. From the Fatwas of Ibn Baaz: It is preferable to pay Zakah to the poor Muslims and it is not permissible to give this money to the establishment of a Masjid, according to the Jumhur (dominant majority of scholars).
