What is the ruling on giving zakah to a student of knowledge who is not exclusively devoted to it?

The Shaykh : Brothers. Yes. It is customary. A testimony. Among the listeners. Right now. Oral questions are prohibited. A time. And that the written questions are submitted. Decided. So that mixing is not accepted. Peace. Between the questions. Come on. And that you agree with us on this. On this. Okay, look, do not start with it. I mean.

The questioner : Old.

The Shaykh : Leave the old ones, the old ones went with the old ones. Yes.

The questioner : He says: Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. If I gave the zakah of my wealth to a student who is not fully dedicated to knowledge, and there are people who depend on him, but he does not have a private house, and he does not have a wife,

The Shaykh : The answer: And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. Thank you. A student of knowledge. One who is fully dedicated to seeking Islamic knowledge. A shepherd. And if he is capable of earning a living. Thank you. It is permissible to give him from the zakah. Because seeking Islamic knowledge is a type of jihad in the path of Allah. Except. And Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, made jihad in the path of Allah a category of those who are entitled to zakah. Movements. He said: . Ah. And the poor. And those employed to collect it. And . From. . No. And in the bed. He covers. So if a man. This young man is a young man. Seeking the knowledge of the Shari'ah.

The questioner : And what is this? And he is able. Yes.

The Shaykh : To perform wudu'. Yes. With a salary. Rashid. That suffices him and his family. What do you say, do I renounce seeking knowledge? Or do I work for a salary and call it seeking knowledge? We tell them. Dedicate yourself to seeking knowledge and we will provide for you from the zakah. We meet. And there is no blame in that. Yes, this. Because you are among those entitled to it. Here.
As for if this student. Khalid. Is fully dedicated to seeking worldly knowledge. Strong. Then he does not receive from the zakah. Hey, coming. And we tell him, you are now working for the world. Second. And you can. Yes. Earn from the world through a job, so we do not give you from the zakah. May Allah protect you. But. If we find a person. Also. Who is able to earn for food and drink. And shelter. But he needs to get married. Look at the boy. And he does not have what to marry with. So is it permissible for us to marry him off from the zakah? Yes. The answers yes. Yes. It is permissible for us to marry him off from the zakah. Movements. But if someone said. The dowries now are high, the mahr reaches ten thousand. Hey. Do we give her ten thousand to marry with? Yes, no, no, no. Let us say ten, ten, it might be. Allah is able to do all things. If someone said. The dowries now are high, reaching ten thousand riyals. How do we give her three thousand riyals from the zakah in one lump sum? Come on. Is it valid or not valid? It is valid, it is valid, it is valid, it is valid. Yes, it is sufficient to give him a generous mahr. The fire is complete. And we marry her off.
Okay, what is the reason? That. Marrying the poor from the zakah. Is permissible. Permissible. Even if it is a lot. A lot. Because a person's need for marriage is pressing. I say. It may be in some cases like his need for. A lira. Food and drink. What? And therefore the scholars said. That he mentions. From the hand. On whom maintenance is obligatory for a person. Approximately. It is obligatory for him to marry him off. If his wealth is wealth. That suffices for himself. Therefore. He rides on. On the father. To marry his son off. Thank you.
But I heard from some fathers. This. The tyrants. Recently. Who denied their condition, the condition of the youth. If his son asked him for marriage. Come on. He said, come on, swear by your oath. Your eye. And marry with the right hand. Right hand. Is this permissible and his father is able to marry him off? Pure. It is not permissible, this is haram on the father. Yes, the verse. It is obligatory for the father to marry his son off. And will. Yes. He will be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection. I. If he did not marry her off. Married. With his ability to provide for him. And.
And here is an issue. If a man. What do you say. Several and that. Our youth. Several sons. Absolutely. Among them is one who has reached the age of marriage, he married him off. Face. And among them are the young sons. Of course. Who have not reached the age of marriage. Hey. Is it permissible for this man to bequeath something of his wealth? Rare. To be a mahr. O man. For the young sons. Door. Because he gave his older sons. Youth. It is not permissible, it is not permissible, it is not permissible, and. It is not permissible for a man. I. If he married off his older sons. Yes. To bequeath the mahr for his younger sons. Complete. But it is obligatory for him. On him. If one of his sons reaches the age of marriage, to marry him off as he married off the first one. The first one. And as for bequeathing for him after death. This death. Then it is a prohibition. Haram. What I want to. Strange. The evidence is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) . So there is no bequest for one. My. But I say, O. Students. Students. We can deduce from the Qur'an. Yes. Before the hadith. That this. No, no, because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says. You are commanded. . We give them. For the male, the like of the share of two females. Then He said at the end of the verse. Beginning. An obligation from your fathers and your sons. Okay. . Yes. An obligation from Allah. If Allah wills. If Allah was upon us, Wise.
And the point of deduction in this verse. Verse. That if a man bequeaths forty thousand to be a mahr for his young son. Okay? Then what? Mama? So we gave the young son. Okay. Forty thousand.

The questioner : From where?

The Shaykh : And we gave him his share of the inheritance. Cameras. Did we increase him in his share of the inheritance or not?

The questioner : Or not?

The Shaykh : So we contradicted the obligation. Sick. Which was decided on the obligation from Allah. Four. If Allah was All-Knowing, Wise. Poor.
This issue, I hope my brothers the fathers. This. To pay attention to it. Stop. And that they not be taken by compassion and mercy. For the young children. Now. Until they contradict the Shari'ah of Allah. Allah. Your happy child. Okay. If he reaches the age of marriage and you are on. On. The threshold of life, marry him off if you have water. Complete. And if he reaches the age of marriage after. I mean. Allah chose for you. I tell you. The Hereafter. Welcome. Then the One who provided for you. Okay. Able. Come on. To provide for you. Yes. Allah will occupy you. If Allah wills. With a relief and an exit. We returned. And especially. Hey? If you are righteous. Look, the righteousness of your deeds benefits the children after death. The righteousness of the gifts. This. Benefits the children after death. Salma. Correct. Correct. And what is the evidence? The evidence.
. The city. And under it was a measure for them. They. And their father was righteous. Righteous. The prayer of his father. His father. Yes, yes. Allah prepared for the wall. A car. The one who wants to diminish him. Okay. Allah prepared for him patience. Present. Until he established. Yes. Is this? This. Encourages a person to righteousness.

The questioner : Righteousness? Yes.

The Shaykh : If you know that your righteousness. Ready. Will be in the interest of your children after your death. Not sure. Then this undoubtedly preserves repentance for the prayer.
