Alms Tax: Giving Zakat to a Woman in a Temporary Marriage (Mutʿah)

Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani

Ruling 1967

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.
