If a poor person is committing some sins, such as smoking or the like, is he given from the zakah?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If a poor person is committing some sins, such as smoking or the like, may Allah grant us well-being, is he given from the zakah, or should one look for another poor person?

Answer:
A Muslim is given from the zakah even if he is a sinner. A poor Muslim is given from the zakah even if he is a sinner. However, giving it to the people of obedience is better. As for sufficiency, it suffices for every Muslim, even if he is a sinner. But the best is that you give it to the obedient and the righteous so that they may use it to help them in obedience. Yes.
