Is the monthly charity counted as zakah in Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If, if, if. If you are accustomed to it.

The Shaykh : That is, you have learned the rule, the rule.

The questioner : A precise moment.

The Shaykh : An Arab leader, yes.

The questioner : He says: If I am accustomed to giving some people a sum of money monthly as charity, is this charity considered zakah in the month of Ramadan?

The Shaykh : He says:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Actions are only by intentions."الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام إنما الأعمال بالنيات.
Allah.الله.
and every person will get the reward according to what he has intendedوإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
Sahih al-Bukhari 1
. And these are the people you give charity to every month. If they are among those whose financial maintenance is obligatory for you, then it is not permissible for you to give them from your zakah. This is for your own maintenance. What is cut off. Because by doing so, you are saving your money. Your money. But if the maintenance is not obligatory for you, then you have no need to give them in Ramadan. Ramadan. And count it from your zakah. Your right, oh. And with this. I. We cut to another new benefit. New.
And it is that it is permissible for a person. Yes, indeed. To pay off the debt of his son from his zakah. And it is also permissible for a person. Also. To pay off the debt of his father from his zakah. My father. Because the debt. Yes. Is not obligatory to be paid. On behalf of the camels. Or on behalf of the son. The son. Unless the cause of that debt. Yes. Was the negligence of faith. Million. The one giving zakah in spending on him. Then it is not permissible for him to give him or to pay off his debt from his zakah. To be sure. Therefore. Do not think. Misfortune. If. Due to a slump in goods. He was affected by a slump in the goods in his hand. And he has no knowledge of it. Therefore. Debts to people. Is it permissible to pay off his debts from your zakah? The answer is yes. And another person. Oh news. An accident happened to his son. So the car that was hit was broken. And it was assessed. On him. At ten thousand riyals. One hundred riyals. And he does not have ten thousand riyals. Is it permissible for the father to pay off? Or to follow this group from his zakah. The fourth. Yes, it is permissible. With two.
It is permissible. What is the evidence? The evidence is the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Indeed, alms are only for the poor." Complete. And the needy. Certainly. And those employed to collect them. On them. And those whose hearts are to be reconciled. And in the necks. And the debtors. Forbidden. And this is what is now. Yes, a debtor, a debtor. The maintenance is obligatory upon him, and for this reason I said if the debt is due to maintenance, then you do not pay it off from your zakah. This with this. But this is something that is not obligatory for me to pay off. So a person is not required. To pay off the debt that became obligatory upon his son. Yes? Due to one of the accidents. And he is not required either to pay off the loss that occurred in his estimate. In purchasing goods. But a person is required. It will be upon you.
