The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says in *Kashf al-Mukhaddirat* (Uncovering Narcotics) that the author of the book stated that those who are permitted to receive zakah are exempted if they are from the Banu Hashim, provided they are warriors or those whose hearts are to be reconciled.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is correct. Since they are among those working on it, if the Banu Hashim are with the warriors or among those working on the alms, they are given what they receive in the category of alms, but it is in the category of wages. The worker is given, even if he is rich. The worker on zakah is given from it, even if he is rich, as a wage for his work, not as zakah or alms. Yes.
The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, also mentions that the ancestors and descendants are given if they are warriors or those whose hearts are to be reconciled.
The Shaykh:
Likewise, because this is not in the category of zakah; they are given for their work, given in exchange for their work, not as alms.
