He says: If some of the heirs are among the poor and the needy, is it permissible for the heir to pay their zakah to them?
The Shaykh:
We observe that the inheritance that drops the obligation of financial maintenance is when the one providing maintenance is an heir of the one being maintained. As for the reverse, if the one being maintained is an heir of the one providing maintenance, this does not drop the obligation of financial maintenance. Yes.
