Question:
Is it permissible for me to take zakah from one of my relatives if I am well-off and wealthy?
Answer:
Answer: It is not permissible for a wealthy person to take zakah; rather, it is forbidden for him to take it. The alms are restricted to the poor, the needy, and those who work on them, as stated in the verse: "Indeed, the alms are only for the poor and the needy and those who work on them," up to the end of the verses. It is limited to these categories, so it is not permissible for a wealthy person to take it.
