The answer

It is permissible to appoint charitable organizations as agents to deliver Zakat to those deserving, whether through direct payment or electronic transfer. It is also permissible to appoint several organizations to pay portions of the Zakat. Similarly, it is permissible to pay Zakat to one or several individuals from its rightful beneficiaries, or to one or several categories of them, and it is not obligatory to distribute it to all categories. However, if the organization takes Zakat for itself, it is not permissible unless it has been specifically appointed by the ruler (wali al-amr).
