If something is given solely for the sake of Allah, can both the wealthy and the poor eat from it or not

If something is given solely for the sake of Allah, can both the wealthy and the poor eat from it or not?

Question: What is the ruling of the learned Ulama in this case: If something is given solely for the sake of Allah, can both the wealthy and the poor eat from it or not?

The Answer: Sadqa-e-Waajiba, such as zakaat and Sadqa-e-fitr, is haraam for the wealthy and Sadqa-e-Naafilah such as water from a Hauz or fountain (for the people) or the house of a musaafir khaana, are permissible for a wealthy person as well.
