Zakaat Money Changing Many Hands

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If I give my zakaat to A to give it for me, they then give it to B to take it to the bank (organisation) or to an Aalim. B could be a non-muslim. It is possible that I do not know of it changing so many hands. Is my zakaat valid?

A: Yes. As long as the zakaat money reaches the recipient.

ولا يخرج عن العهدة بالعزل بل بالأداء للفقراء

و قال في رد المحتار : قوله ( ولا يخرج عن العهدة بالعزل ) فلو ضاعت لا تسقط عنه الزكاة (رد المحتار 2/270)
