Zakat To Charitable Institutions
May I pay zakat to charitable institutions such as hospitals?
Institutions such as hospitals, orphanages and charitable schools that serve needy zakat recipients may receive zakat, for which the entire zakat amount must be appropriated directly to the poor; it would be impermissible for any of the zakat funds to be used for wages and administrative expenses.
