Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Ahmad says: A friend of mine works, but his financial situation is difficult, and he is preparing for marriage. I helped him with a sum of money and counted it from my zakah. Is that permissible?

Answer:
Yes, if he is in need, if he is poor, he is among those entitled to zakah, and you have done a good deed in this. Yes.
