Question:
In his second question, he asks: Who are those who are not entitled to zakah or charity, even if they are in need?
Answer:
The people of the household are not given charity. The Banu Hashim, the tribe of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), are not given from the zakah. Likewise, your parents, your children, and your wife: you spend on them from your own wealth, not from the zakah, if they are in need. You spend on your father, your mother, your paternal grandfather, your maternal grandmother, and your children from your own wealth, not from the zakah. The zakah is for others, for the poor among your other relatives, your poor brothers, your paternal uncles' sons, your neighbors, and other poor non-relatives from among the Muslims; you give them from the zakah. As for your parents, your father and your mother, your paternal grandfather, your maternal grandmother, and your children, you spend on them from your own wealth, not from the zakah. Likewise, every wealthy person is not given from the zakah; rather, it is given to the poor. Yes. And the disbeliever is not given it unless he is one whose heart is being won over to Islam. If he is being won over to Islam, he is given the zakah to win him over to entering Islam, or to strengthen his faith and certainty. Yes.
