The ruling on giving zakah on gold to one’s mother and sisters in the form of a festival gift
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I gave the zakah of my gold during the festival, then I spent it on my mother, my sisters, and my maternal aunts, like giving a festival gift. I gave the zakah of my gold on the day of the festival, then I spent it on my mother, my sisters, and my maternal aunt, like a festival gift. Is my action correct?
Answer:
No, if you intend it as 'Eidiyyah, it is not valid. But also note that it is not valid, and it is not permissible for your zakah to be given to your mother. However, you may give to her from your own wealth, not from the zakah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
