Do iftar meals prepared by municipalities, associations, or foundations during Ramadan, or meals distributed at soup kitchens, count as zakat or fitrah?

AnswerEditorialShejire Editorial

Iftar meals prepared and served by municipalities, associations, or foundations do not count as zakat. This is because among those who eat the iftar meal, there are many people to whom it is not permissible to give zakat. However, if the prepared meals are delivered specifically to the poor with the intention of zakat, then it is valid as zakat.
