Zakariya ibn Malik al-Ju'fi asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the verse of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty: "And know that whatever you gain, a fifth of it is for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Messenger, the near relatives, the orphans, the needy, and the traveler" (Surah Al-Anfal 8:41). The Imam عليه السلام replied: "As for the share of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, it is for the Messenger to spend in the way of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. The share of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, is for his relatives. The share of 'those near' is for his close family. The orphans are the orphans of his household, so these four shares are allocated to them. As for the needy and the travelers, you know that we do not eat from charity, nor is it permissible for us. Thus, it is for the needy and the travelers outside our family."
