Is it permissible to give zakah to a student from the Prophet's family?

Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a young man seeking religious knowledge, who is from the family of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to take zakah and voluntary charity? This is because his family is in another town and does not support him; he only receives a small amount from the place where he is studying. It is also known that he wants to get married and does not have much money.

Answer:
My brother, he should work and earn a living. He should not neglect the means of livelihood and say, "I will take zakah and not earn." There are many means of earning: buying, selling, working. Even if he carries things on his head, he should work and earn. The means of sustenance are many and are not limited to taking zakah. He should take up a trade, work, buy and sell, or do a job and take a wage for it. Yes.
