Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Giving zakah, O Shaykh, to a sister's daughter who is poor. This person, O Honorable Shaykh, gives to distant others, while this sister's daughter is poor. So I advised him and told him that his sister's daughter is more deserving of this zakah.
Answer:
You did well in that and advised him, and praise be to Allah. Yes, the near ones are more deserving of kindness, and charity to a needy relative is two charities: charity and maintaining family ties. Yes.
