The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A woman is divorced, she has four children, and she has a debt. Is it permissible to give her zakat al-mal (wealth zakah)?
The Shaykh:
A woman.
The questioner:
She is divorced, has four children, and has a debt. Is it permissible to give her zakat al-mal?
The Shaykh:
Yes, everyone has a debt, but the question is whether she is poor or not? If she is poor, she is given it. But merely having a debt—companies have debts, everyone has a debt.
