The Ruling on Paying Zakah for the Support of an Orphan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I have zakah on my wealth. If I pay it toward the support of an orphan, is that sufficient?
The Shaykh:
If you know the orphan, know his need, and know that he has no wealth, and you give him what suffices him for his year, then this is a good deed, yes.
The presenter:
We begin.
The Shaykh:
We accept it as your zakat.
