Inability Of Zakat Distributor To Disburse Zakat
What is the liability of the zakat distributor in case of his inability to disburse the full amount of zakat?
When an individual or institution assigned with the task of distributing zakat is unable to distribute the entire zakat amount, the remaining zakat should be returned to the zakat payer or, with the permission of the zakat payer, be given in charity to a recipient according to the payer’s instructions; if contacting the original zakat payer is not possible, the money should be given as zakat to a similar cause.
