Bulugh al-Maram #753

The Book of Zakah
Qabisah bin Mukhariq Al-Hilali (RAA) narrated that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Asking for (the money of) Zakah, is justified only for the following three: first, a man who is in debt: it is then permissible for him to receive until he is in a position to earn his own living; and third, a man who has been reduced to poverty and three persons of caliber from among his people testify to his desperate circumstances. Such will receive until he finds a means of support for himself. Other than these cases, O Qabisah, it is considered as taking suht (unlawful or haram earnings), and the person receiving it (this Zakah) will be consuming forbidden (unlawful) holdings.” Related by Muslim, Abu Dawud, Ibn Khuzaimah and Ibn Hibban.
