The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Poor Employees
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding zakah, may Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. I have employees in a company; they do not work for me personally, I work with them, meaning they are employees like me. These employees’ salaries are eight hundred and nine hundred. I do not benefit from them in any way, but they are Muslims and poor. Is it permissible for me to give them some of the zakah?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. May Allah bless you, O Salih.
