Giving the zakah of the fund to relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We also received this question from one of the brothers. He says: Shaykh, I am the treasurer of a fund for a group of relatives. Is it permissible for me to give from the fund's zakah to my married son who is suffering from schizophrenia? And also to my widowed daughter and her young children, knowing that their income is not sufficient for them.
Answer:
You are the trustee of this fund, and it is not permissible for you to take for yourself or for your relatives whose testimony you do not accept. It is not permissible for you to take from the zakah for which you have been entrusted except with their permission, except with the permission of the donors. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
