Zakat Funds: Proper Usage - Dr Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the proper disbursement of Zakat funds according to Hanafi jurisprudence. He emphasizes that Zakat should either be collected by the government or directly distributed to eligible recipients, ensuring they become the owners of the funds. He raises concerns about institutions receiving Zakat without direct ownership by the intended beneficiaries. He proposes that if the government allocates Zakat to hospitals, access to free services should be limited to those eligible for Zakat, with a fee structure in place for others. He also addresses the practice of government grants to madrassas, suggesting transparency in directing funds to eligible students. He requests understanding on this sensitive issue to avoid unnecessary controversy.
