سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَلَى أَبِيهِ دَيْنٌ وَ لِأَبِيهِ مَئُونَةٌ أَ يُعْطِي أَبَاهُ مِنْ زَكَاتِهِ يَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ مَنْ أَحَقُّ مِنْ أَبِيهِ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man upon whose father there is a debt, and for his father there is a provision. Can he give his father from his <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> for him to fulfil his debts?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, and who is more deserving of it than his own father?’.
