Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Who is more deserving of zakah, the parents or the relatives, or the students who are relatives studying at the university and in need of assistance? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible to give zakah to one’s father, nor to give zakah to one’s son. Rather, each of them is required to spend from his own wealth on the other if the other needs it, but he does not spend on him from his zakah. Yes.
