Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for me to pay my zakah to my father so that he can buy a house for himself?
Answer:
It is not permissible. The zakah of a father is not lawful for his son, nor the reverse, and the zakah of a son is not for his father, neither for his descendants nor his ancestors.
