The Ruling on Giving Zakah to a Sister in a State of Need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have a sister who is modest in her circumstances, but her financial situation is weak. Is it permissible to give her from the zakah?
Answer:
If your sister is under the care of someone, whether under the care of a husband or under the care of a guardian who provides for her, then the zakah is not permissible for her, because she is under the care of one who provides for her and does not spend on herself. But if she has no one to provide for her, no guardian who spends on her, then there is no harm in giving her from the zakah. Yes.
