The Ruling on Giving Zakah to One Who Has a Monthly Salary

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person’s salary is not sufficient for him and his family, in addition to the rent for his residence, is he entitled to receive from the zakah?

Answer:
Yes, the one whose income is not sufficient is entitled to the zakah to the extent that it suffices him; complete the remainder for him, even if he is an employee. Yes.
