Giving Zakah to One Who Wants to Get Married

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My nephew, the son of my sister, is a young man at university who is about to get married. I have a source of income. Should I give him from my zakah?

Answer:
If he wants to get married and needs to do so, and he cannot afford the expenses, then you should help him from the zakah. This is because it is one of the categories of zakah. He is poor and in need of marriage, and he fears for himself and wants to protect his chastity. This is a form of cooperation in righteousness and piety, and it is one of the categories of zakah. Yes.
