The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I want to give zakah to a poor person, am I required to inquire about the amount of money he needs so that I do not give him more than his need?
The Shaykh:
No, do not inquire, as long as you know that he is poor, give to him and do not inquire. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Because this may be part of the blessing of charity, yes.
