Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman asks and says: May Allah be praised, a large amount of money comes to me at intervals. I have an older brother who has sons and daughters, and he is in need of zakah and charity, and he has no income. My question, Shaykh: Is it better to give the money that comes to me to my brother and his children, or to distribute it to more people than those who are in need?
Answer:
It is better to give it to the needy relative. Give it to the needy relative according to what he needs, in the amount he needs, and make him independent of people. Charity to a relative is two charities: charity and maintaining family ties, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
