Ruling on Giving Zakah to One Who Has a Job

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If I know that a person has a job and has children, and he asks for zakah, do we give it to him?

Answer:
If his job does not suffice him, give him from the zakah what suffices him. But if his job suffices him, do not give it to him, because he is wealthy.
