Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I give some of the foreign workers who are in my trust zakah, and they use it to build real estate in their countries. They build real estate in their countries and buy land with it, and they live in comfort. So what should I do if I do not know their situation?
Answer:
If you do not know that they are wealthy and that they do not need it, you give it to them based on their apparent circumstances. But if you know that they are people of wealth and that they do not need it, do not give it to them; give it to others who are eligible. Yes.
