Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A friend gave me money and said, “This is zakah; pay your rent with it.” He says: I refused to take it because my salary sometimes suffices and sometimes it does not. His question is: Am I correct in refusing and not taking this money?
Answer:
Do not take more than what you need; take from the zakah only what you need. Yes.
