Giving Zakah to the Father and the Son

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible to give relatives from the zakah, such as the father, for example, or the son?

Answer:
No, your zakah is not permissible for your son or your father, your direct line of descent. Zakah is not permissible between them; because it is obligatory for you to spend on them from your wealth what is equivalent to the zakah.
