This question has been asked by many people over the years whether This is Islam foundation or other such like organizations can be recipient of Zakat. There has been lots of discussion on this issue and stemming out of those discussions are several other issues that we should address.
First of all, This is Islam foundation collects and distributes Zakat to the poor and needy. By consensus they can receive Zakat and distribute and pay for the process of doing so based on the verse
Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler – an obligation [imposed] by Allah. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. (At-Tawbah: 60)
Similarly for Da’wah programs and new Muslim programs that are carried out by This is Islam foundation, this too becomes a means of receiving Zakaah “for bringing hearts together [for Islam]”.
Then comes the category of: Fi sabeellillah
While the initial opinion and more widespread amongst earlier jurists is that this meant preparing and helping the “Ghuzaat” (who struggle to defend Islam) today a much wider thought process is given to what “ Fi sabeellillah) means especially for Muslims living as minorities.
As such many scholars have opined that every aspect that require beneficial work to be done in the Muslim community such as:
Shrouding the deceased or social work such as building bridges, schools, Masjids, charitable organizations, assisting the valuenurable overcome trauma and drug addiction, provide Islamic religious services and facilities for prayers for local Muslims etc.
Moreover whatever it takes to fulfill these obligations are also considered as an obligation based on the Usool (fundamentals of Fiqhi ruling):
“Whatever is required to fulfill an obligation is itself an obligation”.
Thus it is not only permissible to give Zakaah to help This is Islam foundation in its programs but also mandatory to do so. These are all the ways and means today to stand in defense of Islam and Muslims; the very purpose for which “ Fi sabeellillah” achieves.
May Allah SWT accept your Zakaah and all your good deeds.
