Education of children of the well-off in a charitable madrasa

Question

In madrasas that run on zakat, the hides of sacrificial animals, fitra and donated aid money, may the children of a person who owns the nisab receive education, or should the owner of the nisab give some fee or a monthly contribution?

Answer

The children of an owner of the nisab may receive education in such madrasas, but it is not permissible for these children to take from the madrasa a booklet of one of the thirty parts of the Qur’an, food, clothing and other such things.
