The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Daughters, Brothers, and Sisters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, my father says that every year he gives from the zakah to his daughters, his sisters, and his brothers.
Answer:
His daughters? No, it is not permissible for him to pay his zakah to his children, whether daughters or sons. Nor is it permissible for him to pay it to his father, his paternal grandfather, his maternal grandfather, or his mother. It is not permissible for any of his direct ancestors or descendants. Rather, he pays it to those who are not in his direct line of descent, provided they are poor. Yes.
