Purchasing a residence for a poor person from zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I previously heard a fatwa from your eminence regarding the permissibility of giving a poor person from the zakah so that he can buy a residence or get married. The question is: Is it permissible to buy a residence for a poor person from the zakah?
Answer:
Yes, for one who is unable to generalize the residence. Either you give it to him and he buys it, or you buy it for him from the zakah. There is nothing wrong with that, because a residence is among the necessities, among the necessary expenses. Yes.
