The Ruling on Paying Zakah to an Unemployed Brother Monthly
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a brother who has stopped working, and he has children and a house rent. Is it permissible for me to pay him zakah monthly, an amount similar to a salary, so that he can spend it on himself and his children? He says: I have a brother who has stopped working, and he has children and a house rent. Is it permissible for me to pay him zakah monthly, an amount similar to a salary, so that he can spend it on himself and his children?
Answer:
If there is a benefit in that, then there is nothing wrong with it. That is, if you fear that if you gave it all to him at once, he might not manage it well or waste it, then it is better for you to time it for him according to his need. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
