He asks: Is it permissible for the wife’s father to give his daughter’s husband from his zakah money, on the condition that he does not spend from it on the household, because the husband has debts?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in it, because the husband is poor and has debts and expenses he pays out of it, and he disposes of it as he sees fit. There is no obstacle. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

He is not one of his children, nor one of his ancestors, nor one of his descendants. Yes.
