Is disbursing Zakat funds for freeing of prisoners and covering their legal costs or family needs deemed permissible usage of these monies ?
Fatawa Question
Can we give Zakat funds to free prisoners ? Also can Zakat funds be used to help finance their legal costs as there is no ‘ransom’ pay for most prisoners nowadays ? Can we give Zakat funds to their families left behind alone with no breadwinner ?
