Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : It is not authentic, but... the poor and the needy, especially on the day of harvest and the day of reaping, if he reaps a large quantity.
The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct, and rice is the same, but there is no zakah on it. The specified zakah, if we use the general term, we mean the specified zakah.
The questioner : It comes out of our land... apples come out of our land in quantities, but, well, our need is small, but the rest... I mean, I sell it to relatives, some of whom are rich and some are poor. So, now, as long as he has to give out a charity that is not specified, if he distributes it, is it sufficient and does it suffice that he distributes it to relatives regardless of their financial needs or their capacity for poverty or wealth?
The Shaykh : Do we rely on your last statement or your first statement?
The questioner : Yes, sir, the question?
The Shaykh : Do we rely on your last statement in the answer, or your first statement in which you said you give to relatives, some of whom are rich and some are poor, or your last statement in which this detail was not mentioned?
The questioner : By Allah, both, sir.
The Shaykh : Heh, it is necessary... but we look at what it means?
The questioner : By Allah, honestly, I mean, as for myself, my charities are for myself; because, praise be to Allah, I have poor relatives, and I give to them, I mean, I am not...
The Shaykh : ... Oh Abu Yahya, but you said: Praise be to Allah, there are poor people.
The questioner : That I...
The Shaykh : It went... I mean, heh, you say: Praise be to Allah that we give charity to the poor, but we judge him by his words, not by his intention, his intention is known, heh.
The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : Excuse me, may Allah bless you, if the reality is so, you have performed the obligatory and more. As for the obligatory, it is the zakah; you delayed the zakah of wealth for the deserving poor. As for the extra, it is that you connected the relatives with some of... and gifts as well.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
