Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My question, may Allah reward you with good: The mother has a sum of money, and she paid the zakah on it, and it came out to about one thousand and five hundred. But the question is: is this zakah obligatory for her children, or for any of her relatives, or is it not permissible, or how is it?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for her children; she does not give it to her children.
The questioner:
Even if their circumstances are difficult.
The Shaykh:
My brother, it is not permissible for her children; she gives it to the needy other than her children, yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
