Question:
The questioner says: A relative of mine gave me a sum of money and said, "Give it to the needy." I have a brother who is in need. Should I give him this amount, or is it not permissible?
Answer:
If your brother is in need and fits the description intended by the one who gave the charity, then give him from it. Give him from this money because he fits the description intended by the one who gave the charity.
