Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother Muhammad, our brother, I fast, I fast, like this door, and I took my wife to be the reward of this door, this door or five children, it is not impossible that it is obligatory, so you are the best and may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If this child has no one to support him and no one spends on him, it is permissible to give him from the zakah. However, if he has a supporter and a guardian who spends on him, do not give him the zakah. Also, the zakah is only for the present need, not for the future. Do not give the zakah for future matters that it is unknown whether they will occur or not. The zakah is for present needs and present circumstances.
