Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I know people who pay voluntary charity monthly for orphans, and the question, may Allah protect you, is that they count some of the months as part of the zakah on their wealth. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If the orphans are poor, and they have no wealth left to them by their father, and they are poor, they are given from the zakah because they are poor.
