Giving Zakah to a Wet-Nurse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to give zakah to a mother through breastfeeding?

Answer:
Yes, because she is not among the relatives by blood; she is only a mother through breastfeeding, not by lineage. If she is poor, she may be given [the zakah]. Yes.
