The answer

Charity (sadaqah) is not permissible for theal al-Bayt (family) of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, whether or not they have received their share of the khums (one-fifth). This applies specifically to obligatory charity, such as zakat. As for voluntary charity (sadaqat at-tatawwu'), it is permissible for them according to the well-known view of the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools, because it is a supererogatory act and not from the "filth of people," and it is treated like a gift (hibah), which is permissible for the family of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
