The ruling on a guardian taking from the zakah of the orphan he is responsible for
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible for him to take from it, nor is it permissible to spend it on other than the designated categories. For example, if he takes zakah to pay off debts, it is not permissible to spend it on the poor, and it is also not permissible for him to take from it.
The questioner : What?
The Shaykh : No, the workers on it are those appointed by the state. I have already drawn your attention to this, and I said that Allah mentioned the workers on it, and this implies authority, and this does not happen except by the state.
