Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have a piece of land on which zakah has become due, and I have a brother who wants to get married, but his financial means are weak. Is it permissible for me to give my brother the zakah of this land, given that I do not inherit from him? Because... I do not inherit from him, he says, because the father and mother are alive.
Answer:
Yes. If he is poor and cannot get married except with help, then help him from the zakah. Yes.
