I work in social security, and I know that there are people who benefit from social security while having a monthly salary

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a man who works in social security, and it is well known that the source of social security is zakah. Is it permissible for me to remain silent about people who benefit from social security while having a simple monthly salary that would disqualify them from receiving it if the administration knew about it, knowing that they are needy people?

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to inform the authorities that these people do not deserve zakah, and that they are being given from other sources. They have a need, but it is a supplementary need, not a dire necessity, so they are given from other than zakah. Because social security is divided into two types: social security from the government from the public treasury, and social security from zakah. So you inform the authorities that they should not give them from the zakah item, but from other sources. Yes.
