ما الرأي الشرعي في مبلغ الزكاة الذي جُمع لفك غُرم شخص ولم يتحقق، هل يُعطى له كاملاً ليستفيد منه أو يوزع على محتاجين آخرين؟ وهل يجوز سحب جزء من زكاة المال المعطاة له إذا كان لا يزال من المساكين؟

The money collected for a man who is in debt, some of which is from zakat (definition): If the man is still a debtor (gharim (definition)) and eligible for zakat, then the money should be given to him to pay off his debt. Otherwise, it should not be given. If the creditor has absolved him, and the status of being a debtor is removed, then he should not be given from zakat, nor from pure donations, unless the donors intended charity for him. It is preferable to ask the donors about their intentions; if that is not possible, the money should be spent on a case similar to what it was collected for, or one that is more urgent. Zakat is disbursed to its rightful recipients among the debtors, the poor, and the needy. The man can be given from zakat under the description of destitution and poverty, as a person may combine several descriptions by which he becomes eligible for zakat, such as being poor and in debt.
