If the owner of the money specifies a particular recipient for the to the one he appointed as an agent, then the agent must disburse it to that recipient. However, if he does not specify, and the agent is among those eligible to receive zakat, then he may take from it for himself. It is forbidden for a man to touch a non- woman, and the sin is amplified in because a transgression is magnified during this month.
