One to whom Zakat is Given should not be a Sayyid
Issue No. 1661- Fourth- The one who receives zakāt should not be a sayyid, unless the zakāt payer is also a sayyid. However, if khums and other religious dues are not sufficient to meet the expenses of a sayyid and he is obliged to take zakāt, he may take zakāt from a non-sayyid yet, the obligatory precaution is that he should take zakāt only to the extent of his daily expenses.
