Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There is a school whose students are poor. Is it permissible for us to give these students from the zakah as monthly rewards?
Answer:
By Allah, this means it is not given for the sake of studying; it is given for the sake of poverty. If they need it for maintenance, food, clothing, or housing, there is no harm. As for studying, zakah is not given for its sake. Yes.
