The Shaykh : What does his expenditure require?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How much does he need?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : His salary is one thousand eight hundred riyals, and he needs...
The questioner : He needs one thousand two hundred riyals.
The Shaykh : Two hundred riyals means his salary is more than his expenditure.
The questioner : His salary...
The Shaykh : His salary is one thousand eight hundred riyals, and his need is two thousand riyals. Now, rest. This is a man whose salary is one thousand eight hundred riyals, and he needs two thousand riyals for his own maintenance and that of his children. He finds more than half, but not less; he finds more, but he does not find the whole. So we give him two hundred riyals from the zakah every month, two hundred riyals.
