Chapter on Relatives for Whom Zakat Is Lawful and for Whom It Is Unlawful
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ اَلْقُمِّيِّ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلثَّالِثِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ لِي وُلْداً رِجَالاً وَ نِسَاءً أَفَيَجُوزُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ مِنَ اَلزَّكَاةِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ» أَنَّ ذَلِكَ جَائِزٌ لَكَ«.
As for what Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Imran ibn Ismail ibn Imran al-Qummi, who said:
I (narrator) wrote to Abu al-Hasan al-Thalith عليه السلام (the Third), peace be upon him: “I have children, men and women; is it permissible for me to give them from zakat?” Imam عليه السلام, peace be upon him, wrote: “That is permissible for you.”
