Is it Ok to give Zakat to charitable institutions, hospitals etc. when we know that they might use the money on non-Muslims as well?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I understand that Zakat can only be given to muslims,so in he above situation when one gives Zakat to a charitable instituion or hospital etc one can’t be sure that all the money would be spent on muslims only even in a predominantly muslim nation like Pakistan.Please advise

Answer

It is not permissible to give Zakaat to such institutions.
