Distribution of Zakah-general : options for distributing Zakah

Fatawa Question

Asalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah There’s a lot of talk about giving Zakah in the US to masjids, Islamic schools, or Islamic organizations… Not for the purpose of distribution to the poor, but for the administration / activities / operation of the organization itself. Is this a valid category for Zakah ?. Specifically, does Zakah “qualify” if it is given to organizations like ISNA, ICNA, MAS, CAIR, etc. to put on conferences, distribute Islamic material, pay for staff, etc. Jazakumullahu Khayran and Salams
