The ruling on the taking of charity by the family of the Prophet during poverty and dire necessity

The questioner:
If they pass through a time in which they are poor and cannot find what to eat, is it permissible for them?

The Shaykh:
If they pass through it.

The questioner:
If the time passes over them and they are poor.

The Shaykh:
That is, the members of the household, if they are in dire necessity, it is permissible for them, just as carrion is permissible for them, but if they have a means of support, they do not take it. Some scholars said that if they are prevented from their right from the public treasury, then it is permissible to give them zakah, but there is no clear evidence for this. Abu al-Abbas Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) chose this position in Islam, but there is no clear evidence for it, and the closer view is prohibition, as long as they are able to live by their means. However, if they are in dire necessity, like carrion and the meat of a pig, then dire necessity permits what is more forbidden than charity given to them. Yes.
