Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There is a student of knowledge who is upright, and we consider him so, and Allah is his accountant. He says he has a monthly salary, and I am giving him my zakat al-mal. Is my action sufficient?
Answer:
This depends on the situation of this person. If his salary is sufficient for him, then zakat is not permissible for him, and it is not permissible for you to give it to him. But if his salary is not sufficient for him, give him only the amount that is lacking for him. Give him the amount that is lacking from the zakat to make up for it. Yes. Yes.
