Can I take Zakat for liver and kidney transplant

I am 23 years old. It has been a year since I have been on dialysis. I need to have a liver and kidney transplant otherwise my survival will be uncertain. I need approximately 1 Koror for the transplantation. Can I take Zakat for this? Currently, my expenses are not properly fulfilled from my income.

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

If beyond one’s personal needs, one does not possess the value of the Nisab (i.e. 52.5 tola of silver), and he is also not a Seyyed (i.e. a descendant of the Holy Prophetﷺ), then in that case he can receive Zakat to the extent needed.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

لما في حاشية الطحطاوي: قوله: "وهو من يملك ما لا يبلغ نصابا" أو يملكه وهو مستغرق في حاجته فمن تحقق فيه هذا أو هذا فهو فقير ومن له دين مؤجل على إنسان إذا احتاج إلى النفقة يجوز له أن يأخذ من الزكاة قدر كفايته إلى حلول الأجل وإن كان الدين غير مؤجل فإن كان من عليه الدين معسرا يجوز له أخذ الزكاة في أصح اھ (ص: 719)
وفي الفتاوى الهندية: ولو كان له ضيعة تساوي ثلاثة آلاف، ولا تخرج ما يكفي له ولعياله اختلفوا فيه قال محمد بن مقاتل يجوز له أخذ الزكاة. ولو كان له دار فيها بستان، وهو يساوي مائتي درهم قالوا: إن لم يكن في البستان ما فيه مرافق الدار من المطبخ والمغتسل وغيره لا يجوز صرف الزكاة إليه، وهو بمنزلة من له متاع وجواهر والذي له دين مؤجل على إنسان إذا احتاج إلى النفقة يجوز له أن يأخذ الزكاة قدر كفايته إلى حلول الأجل، وإن كان الدين غير مؤجل فإن كان من عليه الدين معسرا يجوز له أخذ الزكاة في أصح الأقاويل اھ (1/ 189)
