Zaynab Paying Zakah to Her Husband, Ibn Mas'ud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is mentioned in a hadith that Zaynab paid her zakah to her husband, Ibn Mas'ud. Is there evidence in this for the permissibility of giving charity and the permissibility of paying zakah to one's husband?
Answer:
This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars, because if the husband takes it, he will spend it on her. The issue is ambiguous, and for that reason this matter became difficult.
