Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some workers have their salaries delayed for two months or more, so they are in great need of money for themselves and their children, even though they will no longer be in need once they receive those salaries. Is it permissible to give these people from the zakah?
Answer:
Yes, give them from the zakah, if the disbursement of their salaries is delayed and they are in need, and you have zakah, then give them the amount that covers their need.
