Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A person gives me a sum of money as charity or zakah every so often, and tells me to distribute it to those who are entitled to it. I give it to some of my relatives who are in need of this money. Is my action correct?
Answer:
It is permissible to give your relatives this trust, but you should not give it to your relatives unless he gives you permission. If he gives you permission, seek his leave, and if he permits it, there is no harm. Yes.
