Can we still give Zakat to someone if we cannot know if they are eligible or not to receive it ?
Fatawa Question
I want to give my Zakat to relatives back in Somalia. They are calling and asking for help, telling us how hard pressed they are. I have asked my immediate family if they know whether these relatives qualify to receive Zakat. They only know what they have been told by the relatives, which is that they have many difficulties and struggles. So there is no way of knowing how poor they are without asking them directly about their wealth and savings and that is rude and might cause resentment on their side. Can I still donate my Zakat money to them ?
