The Ruling on Giving a Worker from Voluntary Charity

Question:
What happens when a worker or someone in his position is given some of the voluntary charity, knowing that he benefits from this worker? Does this also fall under this discussion, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
If this is counted as part of his wage, or given to encourage him to work for him, then as we mentioned in the previous answer, this does not suffice for the zakah. However, if he gives it to him because of his poverty, giving it in the sense that this is zakah, and not to encourage him to work for him or to fulfill a right that was obligatory upon him, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
