Can I use Rs 65000.00 of zakat, sadaqah, and interest to buy food for the poor?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I have 50,000.00 zakat, 10000.00 sadaqah and 5000.00 interest. With above Rs 65000.00 (mix amount total) I want to purchase pulses, spice, sugar, tea etc and give it to poor, widow and to those eligible for zakah. Can I do so?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1124/861/B=1434)

Yes, you may purchase these things and give them to the poor and needy ones who are eligible to receive zakah with the intention of zakah. Your zakah shall be paid. You can also give them interest money.

Allah knows Best!
