Informing the Recipient That the Money is Zakaat

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it necessary to mention it to the person that we are giving him zakaat? Or we can just make niyyah from our side only?

Informing the Recipient That the Money is Zakaat

A: No. Niyyat is sufficient

( وشرط صحة أدائها نية مقارنة له ) أي للأداء ( ولو ) كانت المقارنة ( حكما ) كما لو دفع بلا نية ثم نوى والمال قائم في يد الفقير أو نوى عند الدفع للوكيل ثم دفع الوكيل بلا نية ( الدر المختار 2/268)
