Ruling 1967 — Alms Tax (Zakat)

If a woman who has contracted a temporary marriage (mutʿah) is poor, her husband and others can give her zakat. However, if she had stipulated a condition in the contract that her husband must pay for her living expenses, or if paying for her living expenses is obligatory for him for some other reason and he does pay for her living expenses, then zakat cannot be given to her.
