Burial of the dead with Zakaat amount
As has been detailed, since in using Zakaat money for burial purposes, the ownership is not being transferred, Zakaat amount can’t be used. As given in Fatawa A’alamgiri, Vol. 1, Pg No. 188. Thus, instead of using Zakaat amount for this, you may collect money which is not Zakaat amount.
