Question:
The questioner says: It is well known that charity is forbidden for the People of the House. They used to have a share from the public treasury, but is it permissible for their poor to take from the zakah money of their wealthy relatives?
Answer:
As long as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from it and said that it is the filth of people, and that it is not lawful for Muhammad or for the People of the House of Muhammad. The Messenger said it is not lawful, and we say it is lawful? No, that is not right. He said it is not lawful, but they must seek their livelihood through other means. They should seek their livelihood through other avenues. Yes.
