Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for the one giving zakah to inform the poor person that this is from zakah?
Answer:
If he knows that he does not want to take zakah, because some people are modest and dislike taking zakah, then if you know that he dislikes taking it and is modest, inform him. But if you do not know that, and he is in need, give it to him and do not inform him. Yes.
