قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ لَهُ ثَمَانُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ لِابْنٍ لَهُ مِائَتَا دِرْهَمٍ وَ لَهُ عَشْرٌ مِنَ الْعِيَالِ وَ هُوَ يَقُوتُهُمْ فِيهَا قُوتاً شَدِيداً وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ حِرْفَةٌ بِيَدِهِ وَ إِنَّمَا يَسْتَبْضِعُهَا فَتَغِيبُ عَنْهُ الْأَشْهُرَ ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ فَضْلِهَا أَ تَرَى لَهُ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الزَّكَاةُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهَا مِنْ مَالِهِ فَيَعُودَ بِهَا عَلَى عِيَالِهِ يُسْبِغُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهَا النَّفَقَةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنْ يُخْرِجُ مِنْهَا الشَّيْءَ الدِّرْهَمَ.

8. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who has eight hundred dirham, his son has two hundred dirham. He has ten dependents to feed. He lives with difficulty and does not have any profession. He only uses his dirham as capital to earn his living. It remains idle for months. He uses his savings for his expenses. Do you consider it proper his taking from Zakat that he owes to spend and facilitate his dependents? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so, but he must take it in the form of dirham.’”
