Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) holds that a son is given from his father’s zakah if he is in debt, so he is given for his debt, not for his maintenance. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
There is a basis for this. There is a basis for it. He is not given for maintenance, but rather for paying off the debt. If he is unable to pay, he is among those in debt. He falls under the category of those in debt. And those in debt include one who is in debt for himself, so there is a basis for it. The Shaykh’s fatwa has a basis, but the school of thought is that he is not given at all. Yes.
