Question:
The questioner asks: Is zakah (the obligatory alms) paid to domestic workers in homes?
Answer:
If they are Muslims and they are in need, and you do not intend to encourage them to work for you, nor do you want them to prefer working for you over others, then there is no harm in that. They are like anyone else. Yes.
