Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks and says: Is it permissible for me to give some of the zakah to my daughter who lives far away from me and is in need of money?
Answer:
Give the zakah to your daughter? Yes, no, it is not permissible. The zakah of a father is not permissible for his son, and the reverse is not permissible. The zakah of one person in a direct line of descent is not permissible for another, because if the other person is in need and the descendant or ancestor has money, he is required to spend on him from his own wealth and not give him the zakah. He spends on him from his wealth and does not give him the zakah, which serves as a protection for his wealth.
