Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : We said that the first opinion is undoubtedly an error.
Answer : Yes, the general distribution, for example, says that there are eight categories, and each category must have three people, making three times eight, which is twenty-four. So if your zakah is twenty-four riyals, you give one to the poor, one to the needy, one to the collectors, one to those whose hearts are to be reconciled, one to those in debt, one to the wayfarer, yes, and one in the cause of Allah and one to the wayfarer. This is undoubtedly incorrect, first because the Sunnah is unanimous on this, and second because this imposes a great hardship on people, yes. I am explaining to clarify the invalidity of the first opinion. What? We have affirmed, may Allah bless you, that general distribution is not obligatory. The first and the second. We advised us that general distribution is not obligatory, did you understand? That is, he thought we had affirmed general distribution.
