Paying a zakaat collector from the zakaat funds
Q: I have read in Ma’ariful Quraan (English) under the verse of "wal Aamileena alayha" that zakaat can be given to those collecting the Zakaat on behalf of the state.
Nowadays, many organisations in non-Muslim countries also collect zakaat on behalf of the organisation and then distribute it to its recipients.
My question is: Can the person appointed to collect zakaat on behalf of the organization be paid his salary from the zakaat money?
