Is it permissible to pay Zakat to a society for the care of disabled children?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
is paid to eight specific categories mentioned in the Book of Allah. If the disabled children cared for by the association fall under any of these categories, then there is no objection to paying Zakat to the association. However, if they are wealthy and do not meet any of the criteria for Zakat eligibility, then it is not permissible to give them from it; because mere physical or mental disability is not a reason for Zakat eligibility.
