Zakat and purification

Where should purification money go?

Answered by the ShariaQuant team

To a public benefit where you take no reward and no advantage from the giving, so general charity, medical costs for the poor, or infrastructure. It should not go to your own family, it should not be used to reduce your taxes, and it does not count toward your zakat.

This is Shariah screening and education, not financial advice. Rulings on newer products differ between scholars, so where a question is disputed we say so rather than pick a side for you. If your situation is unusual, ask your own scholar.
