Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for someone who is in a family fund, if he receives zakah from a rich person, to disburse it to the poor person in installments throughout the year?
Answer:
He is his guardian. If he is his guardian, he distributes it to him according to his need so that he does not play with it. But if he is not his guardian, he gives it to his guardian. If the poor person is a minor, he gives it to his guardian. But if he is of sound mind, he gives it to him and he disposes of it as he wishes. Yes.
