Question
May Zakaat funds be used to purchase Qur‟aan copies for distribution to the poor and for Muslim prisoners?
Answer
Since you will be giving the Qur'aan copies to poor Muslims, you may purchase the copies with Zakaat. Regarding Qur'aans in prisons, do understand that the Qur'aan Majeed is desecrated in prisons. The necessary honour for the Qur'aan cannot be observed in these kuffaar prisons. It is therefore best to distribute only Islamic literature in prisons.
