The ruling on taking zakah from the people of the Prophet's household
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I know a friend from the people of the Prophet's household, and his lineage to the household of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is established. He is among those who are eligible for zakah, and he has not found money to meet his need. One of the mosque imams offered him a sum of money that came to him in the form of zakah funds. The question is: Is it permissible for him to take from it, given that he has a pressing need for it?
Answer:
You should refer this question to the Ifta' authority so they can look into it. They have many questions of the same nature, so you should submit it to them and follow up until you receive an answer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
