Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the young man is active, do we give him or not, and tell him to work and occupy himself?
Answer:
You have heard that if he is capable of earning, he is not given from the zakah, and he is not given, and his maintenance is not obligatory upon his relatives, because he is self-sufficient through his strength, so he is ordered to earn. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the zakah that there is no share in itJami` at-Tirmidhi 652Hasan (Darussalam), "murrat" means he has strength. When two men came to him asking for the zakah, he saw that they had "jiladah," meaning strength. So he made it clear (peace and blessings be upon him) that there is no share in the zakah for the strong one who earns.
So the one who is strong enough to earn is not given from the zakah or from voluntary charity, because he is not entitled to it, meaning he is capable of earning, and earning is available. Yes.
