Resolution No.(15) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:   

 "Ruling on Paying Zakat Funds in Support of the Palestinian Uprising“

Date: 10/8/1410 AH, 7/3/1990 AD

We have received the following question:

What is the ruling of Sharia on paying Zakat funds in support of the Palestinian uprising?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

It is permissible to pay Zakat (alms/obligatory charity) funds to support the uprising of our brothers in the occupied territories since they are resisting the disbelievers, who have seized the blessed land, and are defending Islamic sanctities and honors. Therefore, they are entitled to receive Zakat for being included in one of the eight categories eligible for it, and that is: “For the cause of Allah“ Consequently, Muslim scholars have permitted that the Mujahidin (fighters in the cause of Allah) and the steadfast there (Palestine) receive their share within that category. This ruling is based on the verse: “The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.” {At-Tawba/60}. And Allah Knows Best.
