Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for one who fears falling into major sin to ask people for help in order to get married?

Answer:
Yes, if the situation reaches the point where he fears for himself regarding hardship and he has no means, then he may ask people from the zakah; he is entitled to the zakah.
