Zakah is given to the one in need

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. The last of these questions is about a man who has children, and his father and mother live with him. They are renting a place for twelve thousand riyals, and his salary is four thousand riyals. Does he receive from the zakah or not, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : This depends on the need.

The questioner : Good, good.

The Shaykh : If he is in need, he is given it; otherwise, let him be content with what Allah has given him.
