Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message received from a female questioner for the program. She says: My husband passed away and left behind five children: three boys and two girls. The eldest is thirteen years old and the youngest is… Their father was poor and could not afford the rent for the house. People of goodness give them charities and zakah, saying that this is for the children because they are orphans. How should the money be spent on them? Is it to be distributed equally, or should the amounts be saved for their future?
Answer:
Each person is provided for according to his need. They all eat, and the clothing each one needs is purchased for him. So, the provision is according to need. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
