Zakat
Zakat Funds and Use Policy
Yaseen Foundation policy is to honor donor fund choices. Each donor is free to follow the Fiqh opinion of their choice. Yaseen's Zakat fund is restricted to people going through financial hardships, students not able to pay tuitions and a small percentage goes to similar organizations where their use of funds is deemed compatible with our policy.
If you follow the Fiqh opinion that allows use of Zakat funds for real property purchase and development, or other programs then donate your Zakat to corresponding cause(s).
