Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to give his zakah to his poor full brother?
The Shaykh:
To his full brother.
The questioner:
The poor one.
The Shaykh:
If he is not obligated to provide for his brother, then if he is obligated to provide for his brother, the zakah is not valid; he should make it a protection for his capital. But if he is not obligated to provide for him, the owner of the wealth has no problem. Yes.
