Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am from the family of the Prophet, and it was said to me that it is not permissible for you to eat charity or the public way (sabil). Is this correct? And does this include the water placed for drinking in the mosques?
Answer:
No, that is not included. What is forbidden is only zakah. As for drinking water in the mosques, or voluntary charity, or the produce of endowments, there is nothing wrong with it. What is forbidden for the people of the house (Ahl al-Bayt) is zakah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Only zakah. Yes. And the family of the Prophet are specifically the Banu Hashim.
