The Agent Taking a Percentage from the Distribution of Zakat

Question
A man receives zakat funds to distribute, can he take a percentage for those working on it from this money?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for him to take any percentage from it, and he must distribute it in full; because he is not dedicated to the work of collecting and distributing zakat, and God knows best.
