Question:
What is the stronger position regarding charity for the Banu Hashim?
Answer:
They are given from voluntary charity, not from zakah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1072a But some scholars said: if they are in dire necessity, it is permissible, if they are not given from the public treasury what suffices them. However, there is some hesitation about this. It is better for them to keep themselves away from it and seek honest work and earnings until they become self-sufficient.
Q: I did not understand. The fatwa: do we give them or not?
The Shaykh: They are not given from zakah, and it is not permissible for them to take it. But some scholars say if they are in dire necessity, it is like carrion.
Q: And their zakah is for their poor?
The Shaykh: No, they give it to non-poor people; because the hadith is general.
