What is the ruling on a man giving his zakah to his indebted son?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says that he was involved in a car accident, which resulted in a fine of thirty-five thousand riyals, and he was imprisoned because he did not have this amount, as he is poor. His question is: Is it permissible for his wealthy father to give him from the zakah in such a situation? And is there a difference between giving to a close relative from the zakah if he is in debt, or giving to him for maintenance?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for his father to give him from the zakah. The zakah of a father is not permissible for his son for any purpose. However, he bears it from his own wealth. The father bears it from his own wealth if his son is poor; he bears it from his own wealth. Just as with maintenance, if he is poor and has nothing, it is obligatory for him to provide for him. Yes.
