Alms/zakat is the financial worship of where it can be given fixed by
the verses [of Qur’an]. The need of the poor, needy, stranded, mujahid, debtor
who cannot pay their debt, and the alms officer are fulfilled from this item.
Among those who cannot be given alms include the relatives of the Prophet. They
cannot receive alms even if they cannot meet their basic needs. For them,
allowances are allocated from the [war] booty and prize items of state income. In
this article, which relatives of the Prophet are prohibited to take alms, the
reasons behind it, and the justifications in the fiqh (Islamic law) books for
that are going to be identified. The religious and legal grounds explained by
the Fukaha (Islamic jurists) that Prophet accepted alms goods as “dirty” to
those outside the allowed list will be determined and an attempt to make a new
explanation will be made.
