Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I receive zakah from people of good every year in Ramadan to distribute to those in need. Currently, I know of a family in great need for medical treatment. His question is: Is it permissible for me to arrange a sum of money for this family now, on the condition that I will recover it as soon as I receive the zakah that will come to me in Ramadan, if Allah wills? He says: I receive zakah from people of good every year in Ramadan to distribute to those in need. Currently, I know of a family in great need for medical treatment. His question is: Is it permissible for me to arrange a sum of money for this...
The Shaykh:
That
The questioner:
Arrange.
The Shaykh:
Arrange.
The questioner:
Yes, that I arrange a sum of money for this family on the condition that I will recover it as soon as I receive the zakah that will come to me in Ramadan, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh:
No, no. You give them assistance from your own funds, or if you have zakah, you give them from it. But you giving them on the basis of the upcoming zakah, that is not permissible. Yes.
