Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner for the program (Abdulrahman A. A) who says: Is the sponsorship of orphans considered one of the recipients of zakah, O Shaykh?
Answer:
If the orphan is poor, he is among the recipients of zakah, included in the poor and the needy. If he is poor and his father did not leave him anything to meet his needs, and he has no relatives to provide for him, he is given. But if he has wealth, he is provided for from it and is not given from the zakah.
