Financial support for a poor sister and giving her from the zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for me to provide for my poor sister? And is it permissible?
The Shaykh:
Her sister.
The questioner:
Yes, the poor one, is it obligatory for me to provide for her? And is it permissible for me to give her from the zakah?
The Shaykh:
If you are not an heir of hers, if she dies while poor, it is obligatory for you to provide for her. Apply the three conditions that have passed to you to the reality, so whoever they apply to, the financial support is obligatory, and whoever they do not apply to, it does not make the financial support obligatory.
