There is one category of zakaah that may be given to the kuffaar, which is “'''to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam)'''” (cf. al-Tawbah 9:60). It is permissible to give zakaah funds to those kaafirs who hold positions of authority and influence among their people, if there is the hope that by giving them something they may become Muslims, then those who are under them may become Muslim too. And Allaah is the Source of strength.}} | There is one category of zakaah that may be given to the kuffaar, which is “'''to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam)'''” (cf. al-Tawbah 9:60).
