Is it permissible for me to benefit from the zakat money that I collect, or to take it as a loan and pay it back in installments, especially since I do not reside in my home country and rely on a social security grant, and the authorities may refuse me employment due to my age and ailments, and also because I am in dire need of a sum of money to establish stability in my home country after being forced to return there, and I owe a large sum to my wife and other people?
