· 1 Rabiʻ I 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am a housewife/stay at home mother.

My husband is doing his aalim studies and does not work, thus he does not have a set income. However, he is not zakaatable and neither am I.

Is it permissible for us to apply for the Sassa Grant which is R370 per month?

Answer

Yes, it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
