not correct bro. Zakatul fitr can only go to destitute people, and must be in teh forum of 4 handful of grain or dates or other legislated foodtypes.

the zakat of your wealth has 8 categories that it can be given to, including the wayfarer, the destitute, the poor, the non muslim or new muslim who's heart may be warmed to islam, the mujahid etc etc.

Brothers please stop talking until you get a scholar to come here and explain things, speaking without knowledge is a heavy sin. These are basics of the deen ya ikhwan, everyone should understand zakat, its the third pillar of islam, whats the point learning anything complicated if you dontknow who your zakat can be given to, when it becomes obligatory on you, how to calculate it etc. Allahu musta'aan. And you have been saying bad things about NZF in the process, saying that their project is questionable islamicly in terms of whether it is actually zakatable or not when your not really sure. fear Allah ikhwan because you may be questioned on the yawmil quiyama, this refuge is for the most destitute sisters,. do you want to be responsible for driving someone away from donating towards it when you didnt have any knowledge of what you were saying?

as long as the NZF are aware that money donated on the basis of Zakat should be used for JUST that and not Lillah like building projects. Otherwise, THEY will be held responsible. That's the clarification issue. Now you've collected money from people here for BUILDING a hostel. Have YOU clarified this from a scholar as Zakat or have you not done your homework on the subject. If people have given money on the premise this will be Zakat when in fact it COULD be used by NZF as Lillah, then both you and NZF in your enthusiasm have inadvertently or possibly advertently mislead people.

This is a serious issue so you better have your A game so to speak in check brother.
