Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Dear Sir, Assalamlikum, We have open a society/trust to Work for the Educational Upliftment of Muslims.Can we use the ZAKAT money in it?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1630/1398=B/1429)

No. The Zakah money must be given as charity to the possession of a poor voluntarily only for the sake of Allah’s pleasure. The Zakah obligation shall not be discharged without it.
