Question:
I have a relative in need, and I want to give him from my zakah. If I told him it was zakah, he would not accept it. May I give it to him while remaining silent?
Answer:
If he does not accept zakah, you must tell him. However, if it is known that he accepts voluntary charity, give it to him and do not specify that it is zakah. Yes.
