What is the ruling on giving charity to a relative?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: To whom is charity best, to relatives or to the poor?
Answer:
Charity to a relative is better, because charity is a form of maintaining family ties, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Charity to a needy relative is better than charity to a poor person who is not a relative, because it combines two rewards: the reward of charity and the reward of maintaining family ties. Yes.
