The answer

It is preferable for a Muslim to give their charity (sadaqat) and to the righteous and upright. It is permissible to give it to a transgressor (fasiq) provided that they do not use it to commit a sin. It is worth noting that it is not a condition to search for a righteous poor person to give zakat to; rather, it is sufficient that the recipient is among those eligible to receive zakat.
