Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, the third question, Shaykh. A man, Shaykh, has a married daughter.
The Shaykh:
A man.
The questioner:
He has a married daughter, and her husband died, and he brought his daughter and her children with him into the house, with me, Shaykh? This daughter receives three thousand a month as her deceased husband’s salary, so this father asks me, saying: What should I do with it? Is it permissible for me to spend from the three thousand on the children, or should I save it for them?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to distribute it to them.
The questioner:
He should spend on them. Now, he says: Is it permissible for him to take something from it for himself?
The Shaykh:
He may take it all if it is the amount you lost or less.
The questioner:
No, he should not take anything from it for himself, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes, you and your wealth belong to your father.
The questioner:
Yes, yes, I mean, if I want to take it all, I take it.
The Shaykh:
He spends on them from it, and if there is a shortfall, some of it is for the orphans.
The questioner:
Yes, now, if we have, for example, Shaykh, twenty thousand of this wealth, does he pay zakah on it?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
If a lunar year has passed over it, he pays zakah on it.
The Shaykh:
This is the guardian. Yes.
The questioner:
Yes, meaning, if he disposes of the wealth, it is as if it were his.
The Shaykh:
He is generous with her wealth to the extent of their needs.
The questioner:
Yes, and what is left over.
The Shaykh:
No, what is left over he saves for them.
The questioner:
It is not permissible for him to take from it, meaning.
The Shaykh:
He saves it for them, except for the right of my daughter; there is no harm in the right of my daughter specifically.
The questioner:
Yes, the right of his daughter, he takes from it.
The Shaykh:
No, my brother.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward him with good and reward you, Shaykh. Peace be upon you.
