He asks, what is the ruling on giving zakat to doctors for performing surgeries?

Cataract in the eye, especially in Africa.

They go to Africa, for example, and need equipment, surgeries, and so on to remove this cataract. Is it permissible to give zakat for this? The basic principle is that such things should be taken from charity.

The basic principle is that it should be taken from charity, because zakat is for individuals.

Charity is only for the poor, the needy, those employed to collect it, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, for freeing slaves, for those in debt, in the cause of Allah, and for the traveler. It is given to individuals; this is the basic principle of zakat.

It is not given for building a mosque, or building a hospital, or the like, but rather to individuals.

And the basic rule is that zakah is not given except if the zakah is handed over to these poor people.

For example, it is given to them, they are handed the money, and they might go to the hospital with it for treatment.

There is nothing wrong with that, inshaAllah, he might have more important needs.

Than this, so he is not forced that your zakah must go to eye surgery, but just inform the organizers.

That when they go there, they give it, they give the poor the money, and then say, if you want to have surgery, the cost of the surgery is such and such, this is better.
