It is believed that they belong to the family of the Prophet Muh\u0323ammad (sws). Therefore Fire will not be permitted to touch them and they are not allowed to take charity. They normally don\u2019t marry their daughter into a non-Syed family. There are other such concepts which I am not sure of. I fail to understand why a needy Syed should not be helped through zakah?"}
