The questioner:
Please, Abu Muhammad. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace.
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.
The presenter:
Shaykh, may Allah do you good, please answer your question. Abu Muhammad, move a bit away from the television so we can hear you on the phone, because there is interference between us and you. Please go ahead.
The questioner:
I say, may Allah have mercy on your parents. I have two questions. The first question is: Is zakah permissible for a poor daughter’s husband? Okay, the Shaykh will answer.
The Shaykh:
A poor daughter’s husband; there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with giving to the husband, the daughter’s husband. What is forbidden is giving to the daughter. But if you give to the poor husband, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
