Zakat To Students Of Sacred Law
May I pay zakat to students of Sacred Law?
Students of Sacred Law may be considered poor, and therefore eligible to receive zakat, if they fall below the nisab minimum and their pursuit of Sacred Law precludes their ability to earn a livelihood; though students of non-Islamic knowledge are only considered poor if they fall below the nisab minimum.
