Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man is a government employee with a simple job, and he is the mu'adhdhin. He lives in the house of the mosque. He is currently building a house for himself and has some money, but it is not enough to complete the entire construction. A person offered to give him some of the zakah. His question is: Is the zakah permissible for him? And does it count for the one who gives the zakah?
Answer:
If he is in need of the house and cannot complete it except with assistance from the zakah, then there is nothing wrong with it, because the house is among the necessities, and shelter is among the necessities for which zakah is spent. Yes.
