Question
Some organizations take a percentage for themselves from the Zakaat and Lillah funds they receive from the public. Is this permissible?
Answer
Taking a percentage from donations is not permissible. The practice of organizations to take a percentage of the collected funds for so-called administrative work is haraam. They are usurping and misappropriating the Zakaat and Lillah funds entrusted to them.
