Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second and third questions from fatwa number ( 19952 )
Q2: My husband's father passed away shortly after our marriage, which led some generous people to send us meat from the sacrificial animals and other assistance such as dates and milk. Is it permissible for my husband and me to eat and drink with them? Please note that our financial status is very high, praise be to Allah.
A2: If you are wealthy, it is not permissible for you to take zakah. However, if it is given to those who are eligible for it and they offer some of it to you, there is no harm in eating what they have offered you.
