Receiving Assistance for Orphans
I am a mother of orphans, some of whom are minors under 18 years old, and our financial situation is, thank God, good, meaning we are sufficient. Some people like to earn rewards and send assistance; what is the ruling on this?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for you to take assistance from charity and zakat if you are poor and do not own the nisab, which is 100 grams of gold in excess of the original need for housing, furniture, and others. God knows best.
