Is it permissible to take a percentage from those who provide charitable donations (Zakat, orphan sponsorship, Sadaqat) to the association, or is the percentage restricted to general donations only? And is it permissible to give a percentage from the general fund if it is not permissible to take it from Zakat, knowing that this affects the general fund designated for employees and the association's activities?

Collecting donations for charitable projects and distributing them to the needy, or for establishing beneficial public projects such as mosques, schools, and health centers, is a good deed. Those in charge of this must act within the limits authorized by the donors. If the donor stipulates a condition, it must be adhered to. If no specific condition is stipulated, the agent may act in a way that serves the best interest. As for deducting a percentage from the donated amount as wages for those working on collecting donations, there is no objection to it, except in matters where a percentage cannot be deducted because it would not fulfill the donor's condition.
