Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : How much of the zakah is given to those who work on it? They are given according to the extent of their work, according to the extent of their work. This is why we give it to them, even if they are wealthy. If the Imam or the greatest Sultan, meaning the highest official in the state, appoints people to collect and distribute the zakah, then they are given according to the extent of their work. In that case, their amounts differ. If their work in a month is, for example, five thousand, how much do we give them? We give them five thousand. If they are poor and the five thousand is not sufficient for them, we give them the amount that suffices them due to their poverty.
