Is it permissible to give Zakaat to poor non-Muslims and to pay Zakaat collectors from the Zakaat they collect?

Question

Is it permissible to give Zakaat to poor non-Muslims and to pay Zakaat collectors from the Zakaat they collect? Some organizations pay their collectors 20%; some pay 30%. Please comment.

Answer

And some scoundrels who operate these Zakaat organizations pay themselves extremely fat „salaries‟. There is gross misuse and misappropriation of Zakaat funds by all modernist, deviate entities. It is not permissible to pay the collectors from Zakaat funds. It is gross misappropriation of Zakaat.

It is haraam to contribute funds of any kind to these scoundrel entities. It is not permissible to give Zakaat to non-Muslims. Optional forms of charity may be given to non-Muslims, not Zakaat nor any form of Waajib Sadqah. There are some morons who claim that Zakaat may be given to non-Muslims. They are modernist deviates.

not be permissible to charge such fees.
