Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1296/1296/M=1433) It is not lawful for a Sayyid to take zakah and wajib sadaqah as well as it is unlawful for a person to give to him. The holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has prohibited it and said that zakah is the filth of people hence it is not halal for Sadat (Sayyid). إن الصدقة محرمة على بني هاشم (حديث)
