Taking money from a mother’s zakah to build a wedding apartment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My mother helped me with a sum of money from her zakah to build my apartment so that I could get married. He says: The matter is settled, I took the money, and I learned yesterday from you that this is not permissible. He says: Does this become a debt on me, or am I excused due to ignorance?
The Shaykh:
Is it zakah or a gift?
The questioner:
Zakah.
The Shaykh:
A parent’s zakah is not permissible for his child. So if Allah has made things easy for you, return the amount to her and consider it a loan from her.
