Giving zakah to a poor person to suffice him for a year

Question : He says: Is it permissible to give zakah to a woman whose husband has died and who has eleven children, with no one to support them? Is it permissible to give her zakah from more than one household, and from more than one person?

Answer : Yes. The woman who has eleven children, whose husband has died, and who has no money to suffice them? It is permissible to give her from the zakah what suffices her and her children for a period of one year. So, if it is estimated that this family needs ten thousand riyals for the year, we give them up to ten thousand riyals. If it is estimated that twenty thousand riyals suffice them, we give them twenty thousand riyals. If it is estimated that five thousand riyals suffice them, we give them five thousand riyals.
