The Ruling on Giving Zakah to a Servant and a Driver

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Mus'ab from Riyadh says: What is the ruling on giving zakah to domestic workers, such as drivers and servants?

Answer:
If they are Muslims and they are in need, and this zakah is not given to encourage them to work for you, then there is no harm in giving it to them because of their need and poverty. Yes.
