\nUNHCR: a trusted agent to fulfil your Zakat obligations
\nThe Refugee Zakat Fund is fully compliant and backed by five fatwas from leading scholars and institutions.
\nIt is permissible to give Zakat to UNHCR for distribution to victims, refugees and displaced individuals in the region. In such a case, UNHCR is considered an agent. The entirety of the collected Zakat must be distributed to eligible recipients mentioned in Quran 9:60. None of it can be used to cover operations or wages; those must be covered by other sources.
