Question:
Also, among the questioner's questions, he says: Regarding paying zakah to one whose lineage traces back to the Banu Hashim, knowing that he is poor and in debt.
Answer:
If it is confirmed that he is from the Banu Hashim, it is not permissible for him to take zakah, nor any other voluntary charity. He may only take aid, namely voluntary assistance, and there is no harm in him taking that, or taking from the public treasury.
