Question:-
Can interest money be given to Zakaatable Madrasah students book their tickets to go home?
Answer:-
The recipients of interest are individuals that are eligible to receive Zakaat. However, we advise that poor students should be assisted with Zakaat and Lillah funds to book their tickets to return home. Avoid using Haraam funds on students that are studying Deen.
ALLAH TA’ALA KNOWS BEST!
