Question:
Is it permissible to give my zakah to the children of my brother who are orphans?
Answer:
If they have no wealth. If they have no wealth and are in need, there is no harm in giving to them; rather, they are more deserving, because charity to a relative counts as two rewards: it is charity and it is maintaining family ties, charity and kinship, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
