Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I am Salim. He says: Is it permissible to give zakah to a student of knowledge?
Answer:
If he is poor, yes. One who seeks knowledge and others; it is for the poor,[At-Tawbah 9:60], and the student of knowledge who uses it to aid him in seeking knowledge is more deserving of it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
