Is it permissable to use zakath money to build a well to obtain water for a rural community as an ongoing charity.

ANSWER:

No, this is not permissible. 

Zakat must be given in cash to poor and needy Muslims and they will do whatever they want with it.

I’ve been working as a freelancer since 2011 neither I know to pay zakat on money nor I remember how much money I had by end of every past year but after 2017 I have money in bank by end of year and I decided in 2018 to pay zakat on my money in 2019 around august.so as far i do not remember the past years in which i dont remember my money what should I do for years before 2017.Im afraid now

Next

Some money was being collected as Sadaqah for a brother. I committed to an amount to the one who was collecting, and he paid the amount to the brother (Money still with me).Later it was told to us that the brother is eligible for Zakah. Can I ‘change’ my intention to have this counted as Zakah from me, coz earlier I didn’t have this intention as we didn’t know.
