Giving Zakah to One Who Is Supported
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have a relative who receives six hundred riyals from her pension and lives with her brothers, who are wealthy. Can she be given from the zakah or the endowment because her pension is insufficient?
Answer:
If her brothers provide for her needs and spend on her, she does not need the zakah, and it is not permissible for her to take it, because zakah is only for the needy, and she is not needy as long as she is with her brothers and they spend on her. Yes.
