Who is meant by {those whose hearts are to be reconciled}?

Question:
Are they only the leaders, or is it general?

Answer:
It is known that they are the leaders and the great ones who are followed as an example. If one gives to others, there is no harm, but the zakah is for those whose hearts are to be reconciled who have status, the leaders and the great ones who have status. As for the common disbelievers, the Muslims do not give to them. However, the leaders, as mentioned by a group of scholars, are the leaders and the nobles whose acceptance and whose Islam leads to the Islam of those behind them and strengthens the faith of those who have already become Muslim.
As for voluntary charity, it is for everyone, whether a leader or not, among the disbelievers and non-Muslims. Voluntary charity is broader.
Q: The Rafidah?
The Shaykh: The Rafidah require a detailed explanation. The Rafidah are the worshippers of the Ahl al-Bayt, and they are disbelievers. If one gives to them to reconcile them to Islam and calls them to Islam, and gives to them to reconcile them through this method, there is no harm.
