Jazakallahu Khayrun for the response. Apologies if I may detracted people from donating to the NZF. I tried to add a caveat in there saying that I had limited understanding, and was hoping that someone with more knowledge could provide some guidance.

We do need to get further clarification, however it's best that this is from a scholar from the Hanafi Fiqh due to differences in opinion, rather than Sh. Tawfique Choudhury, who to the best of my knowledge isn't Hanafi.

p.s. Not sure how much this applies to the current situation: http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.a...=4416&CATE=195

regarding the link, that is if the money goes on dawah e.g. books, courses, mosques etc. this money goes 100% into zakatable things like the poor and needy etc. The only question is, are you allowed to build a house using zakat money for homeless people to stay in. That is the question. Shaikh Tawfique will definitely be able to quote hanafi scholars, he recommend for us to all learn from the deobandis in hanafi fiqh, Allahu a'lam if he follows hanafi fiqh but tahts what he recommend a room full of students last time i saw him a few months ago when i started fund raising, so given that he's recommending that, im sure he will have some knowledge and access to opinions of hanafi scholars. Given that its his project im sure he should be allowed to quote from hanafi sources. As I said, if you want to back that up with confirmation from local scholars who are present on the forum then even better inshAllah, im sure they wont disagree with giants of the hanafi school unless they have some basis. we should bare in mind that at this stage, we dont know if its allowed or not, i have definitely read that you can provide shelter for the homeless using zakat money so never gave it a thought but you have a right to ask but please withhold from drawing any conclusions until after we have consulted people more knowledgable than ourselves inshAllah. Jazak Allahu Khair. If you have some knowledgable, please get him to read this forum and post his/her comments also inshAllah
