Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is it permissible to give zakat al-fitr to people who are not poor; that is, to those who are self-sufficient from their income?
Answer: If there is no one more deserving of it than them, it is permissible; otherwise, it is not.
The common people pass down the story that they used to give to the rider of the white camel in the time of the Companions; is that permissible now?
The answer is what was mentioned before, although we have not heard this statement that the Companions used to give to the rider of the white camel.
Eid Abbasi : ...even if he was riding a horse...
The Shaykh : "The beggar has a right, even if he comes on a horse"; is this it? This is a weak hadith.
Is this a question or a report?
Eid Abbasi : By Allah, it is a question: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) refuse to convey the report of al-Wahj al-Ghamidi?
The Shaykh : Is this the whole question?
Eid Abbasi : Yes.
In Paradise?
