Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If I have two poor people, one a student of knowledge and the other a layperson, is it better to give it to the student of knowledge?
Answer:
Give it to the one in the most pressing need. If the one in the most pressing need is the student of knowledge, give it to him; and if the other is in more pressing need, give it to him according to the need.
