Is it Ok to give Zakat to charitable institutions, hospitals etc. when we know that they might use the money on non-Muslims as well?
Question
I understand that Zakat can only be given to muslims,so in he above situation when one gives Zakat to a charitable instituion or hospital etc one can't be sure that all the money would be spent on muslims only even in a predominantly muslim nation like Pakistan.Please advise
Answer
It is not permissible to give Zakaat to such institutions.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
