The following scholars have been asked specific questions pertaining to the permissibility of LittlePearls accepting Zakaat to cover running cost, salaries, pay our debts and extension of school.
Shaykh Saʿd al-Khathlān (الشيخ سعد الخثلان)
Former member of the Council of Senior Scholars, Saudi Arabia:
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته لابأس بدفع الزكاة فيما تمحض من أمور الدعوة إلى الله لدخوله قي مصرف ( في سبيل الله ) ولا تدفع في الأمور غير الأساسية وعليه فتدفع في أجور المعلمين وإيجار المدرسة
الشيخ سعد الخثلان
Wa ʿalaykum as-salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh.
There is no harm in paying zakāh for matters that are purely devoted to daʿwah (calling to Allah), as this falls under the category of expenditure “in the cause of Allah” (fī sabīlillāh).
However, it should not be paid for non-essential matters.
Accordingly, it may be given toward the salaries of teachers and the rent of the school.
Dr. Fakhr al -Dīn al-Zubayr:
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
حياكم الله
مادامت في بلد غير مسلمة فهي داخله في مصرف (في سبيل الله)؛ لأنها من جهاد الدعوة، كما عليه جماعة من الأئمة.
وفقكم الله
And peace and mercy of Allah be upon you. May Allah grant you well -being.
As long as it is in a non-Muslim country, then it falls under the category of expenditure “in the cause of Allah” (fī sabīlillāh), because it is part of the striving (jihād) of daʿwah, as held by a group of scholars (imams).
May Allah grant you success.
Sheikh Fahd al -‘Umārī (الشيخ فهد العماري):
فيجوز اذا لم يجدوا الا من الزكاة
.. لعموم قوله تعالى ( وفي سبيل الله ) فيدخل في ذلك العلم والدعوة الى الله
If they do not find any source of funds other than Zakāt, then it is permissible to use it.
This is based on the general meaning of the statement of Allah Most High, cause of Allah (fī sabīlillāh)” , which includes “and in the knowledge and the call (daʿwah) to Allah.
