Taking from Zakah by the Mother When the Father Is Stingy with Maintenance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father is very stingy despite his wealth, and he does not give my mother what is sufficient for her. Is she permitted to take from the zakah of people's wealth?
Answer:
This has been answered before. If he does not provide for her and it is difficult to demand it from him, then instead of seeking zakah, she should file a case with the judge, because he is neglecting her maintenance. Yes.
