The poor person's disposal of the alms given at the end of Ramadan after receiving it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, regarding the alms given at the end of Ramadan, some people take it and then sell it. Perhaps they are poor and in need of money, and they are content with what they received from the donors, and then they sell whatever is left over or in excess?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. If the alms given at the end of Ramadan is paid to him, it becomes his property, so he disposes of it according to his interests. Yes. If he wishes, he eats it; if he wishes, he gives it as his own alms for the end of Ramadan; if he wishes, he gives it as a gift; and if he wishes, he sells it and takes its price, because it has become his property, so he uses it according to his need. Yes.
