Ruling on a poor woman purchasing gold from zakah funds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Her second question is: Is it permissible to use some of the zakah funds to purchase gold or other items, or is it not?
Answer: If the woman is poor, and she is given some money from the zakah, and she wishes to buy from it an item of clothing made of gold or silver to wear, there is no blame on her for doing so; because this is among ordinary matters, such as wearing beautiful clothes on special occasions. Even if she is among those entitled to zakah, there is no blame on her for buying her needs in gold clothing and the like from the zakah money that was paid to her. Yes.
