Question:
Our Shaykh, a questioner says: Is zakah permissible for a student of knowledge?

Answer:
If he is poor, if he is poor, then zakah is permissible for him; he is more deserving than others. Yes. But if he is wealthy, or if he has a salary that suffices him, then it is not permissible for him. Yes.
