Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Students of knowledge who are devoted to knowledge and do not work, despite being capable of working, and they say they do not find opportunities for work,
Answer:
because they are unable to work as they are occupied with seeking knowledge. Giving to them is permissible; it helps them in seeking knowledge. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give to the people of the Safah. Yes.
