Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A poor person lives with people of means, and charity comes to the poor person. Is there any blame on the well-off if that poor person offers them some of the food and they eat from it?
Answer:
Never. There is no blame on them. If something from the charity or from the zakah is offered to them, and they are wealthy, there is nothing wrong with it, because it is lawful for him, and it is lawful for his guests to be offered it.
