Building houses for the poor by Zakah money


321

Q 7: Is it permissible for a contracting company to build houses for poor Muslims from Zakah (obligatory charity) money which they pay? It is worth mentioning that Egypt suffers from a severe housing problem and Muslims do not have apartments.


A: It is not permissible to pay Zakah money in building houses for the poor. (Part No. 9; Page No. 465) Rather, the money should be handed to the qualified recipients where they can independently dispose of it.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
