Giving zakah to a person whose children are well-off

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is about the ruling on giving zakah to a man whose children are well-off: is this man given from the zakah or not?

Answer:
If his children provide for him, then the zakah is not permissible for him. However, if they do not provide for him and he is in need, he is given from the zakah, and he is not left to his children who refuse to provide for him.
