  • Zakat Given To Charity Organization

    If we give zakat to some charity organization…do we need to verify that is it Genuine organization or not? Sometimes it becomes very difficult to know it is genuine or not

    We should get reasonable assurance to make sure of this fact, whether the organization is a genuine charity institution or not.

      You’re only liable to verify within possible means. However, it doesn’t mean that you can give zakat to anyone who posts pictures on Instagram. Would you give your money to anyone selling a product on Instagram? Whatever due diligence you would do in that, you should do the same for zakat.
