Is it permissible for a "Sayyid" to have Sadaqa for their needs?

Islamic jurisprudence outlines specific rules regarding charity between Sayyids and non-Sayyids. While Sayyids may give Zakat to either group, non-Sayyids are generally prohibited from giving Zakat of wealth or Zakat al-Fitra to Sayyids, although other forms of charity, including Kaffara and voluntary donations, are permissible under certain conditions.

Hawzah News Agency - Is it permissible for a "Sayyid" to have Sadaqa for their needs? If it is permissible, then please specify the condition.

Answer: It is permissible for a Sayyid Hashimi to give his sadaqa to another Sayyid or to a non-Sayyid. This includes both Zakat of property and Zakat of Fitra. But it is not permissible for a non-Sayyid to give his Sadaqa to a Sayyid. If a Sayyid receives Zakat of property or Fitra from a non-Sayyid, it would be forbidden for him to use it, and he who gives it (Zakat), his "Dhimma" (obligation) would not be discharged. In cases other than those mentioned above it is permissible for a non-Sayyid to give his Sadaqa, atonement, or Fidya of fast (Kaffara) or any desirable charity to a Sayyid. Yes, if charity given to a Sayyid is too little an amount of property and it is given with the intention of repulsing calamity and evil, there is Ishkaal (objection) in its being permissible.
