Q:
1. Can one can use his Zakaat money to construction a Madrasah.
2. Also, can the Zakaat money be used for some general use of the Madrasah children, e.g. purchasing quilt, kids cloths, bed sheets, etc...
A:
1. No.
2. For the zakaat to be valid there must be transfer of ownership to a recipient (e.g. a poor person). It cannot be used just to provide a benefit or service without transferal of ownership.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
