Zakat for the Poor for a Specific Purpose
Is it always required to obtain acceptance when paying zakat? For example, we have students living in mosques, and traders give their zakat to the student affairs manager, who uses it to buy what the students need in terms of food and drink and pays for their daily expenses.
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Acceptance has been achieved as they agreed to live in this place for free, and their expenses will be covered by zakat, and God knows best.
