Giving zakah to everyone who asks for it and verifying their condition

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is every person who asks for zakah to be given it, or should I verify that?

The Shaykh:
Verify it, but the questioner has the right to be given something for his asking. Yes.

The questioner:
And does that include
And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:10]
?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is included in the generality of the hadith. The questioner about knowledge, the questioner about the questioner for charity, for voluntary giving, yes.
