The Inheritance of a Debtor from the Charity Bequeathed by the Father

The questioner:
My father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away and bequeathed a portion of his wealth as charity. I am one of the heirs and I have financial debts. Do I have the right to take from this charity?

The Shaykh:
If he bequeathed it to the needy among the descendants, you may take from it. But if he bequeathed it to those outside the descendants, you may not take from it.

The questioner:
The brotherhood is charity for the sake of Allah.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, what you take from it is absolutely prohibited.

The questioner:
What is taken from it, I mean.

The Shaykh:
Thank you. You are in need, I mean, in Jeddah?

The questioner:
By Allah. I am in need. I have. You. It is. And. We press on this.

The Shaykh:
If you are in need in Jeddah, you may take from it the amount of your need or less. Because this is among the deeds of righteousness.

The presenter:
Thank you, thank you, Abu Sa'd.
