The Ruling on Paying Zakat in the Form of Charity Packages

Question

Is it permissible to pay zakat by participating in charity packages distributed to those entitled to it, or must it be paid to the poor in cash?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: The packages are given to the poor, so it is permissible to give zakat through them, and God knows best.
