Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question, Honorable Shaykh, about giving zakah. He says: Is it permissible for me to give zakah to one who calls for aid at shrines, and this is his habit?
Answer:
Do not give zakah except to a Muslim, to a poor Muslim. As for the one who calls upon shrines, he is not a Muslim; he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) committing major shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is not permissible to give zakah to him. Do not forget. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
