Paying Zakat To One Using Money Unlawfully
May I pay zakat to an eligible recipient who will use the money in unlawful ways?
It is impermissible to give zakat to an eligible recipient when one is certain the money will not be used lawfully, and offensive when one doubts whether the money will be used lawfully.
