A woman taking from zakah while her husband provides for her and giving charity from it

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks: Is it permissible for me to take zakah money, even though my husband provides for me, but his provision is not sufficient for me and my children? And is it permissible for me, if I take it, to give charity from it?

The Shaykh:
No, as long as the one who provides for you is fulfilling that duty, you are not in need. Luxuries do not justify taking the right of zakah. Luxuries are things like buying fruits, buying meat, and buying… these are luxuries that do not justify taking the right of zakah. Rather, zakah is taken for necessary things, such as food, drink, clothing, and shelter; these are necessities. As for luxuries, zakah is not taken for them, and as long as the man is fulfilling the obligatory duties, zakah is not taken for luxuries.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, clearly.

The Shaykh:
Also, you do not take it and say, "I will give charity with it." No, let the owner of the money be the one who gives charity with it. Do not give charity from someone else's money. Yes.
