The questioner:
Likewise, may Allah grant you success, he asks: Is it permissible to give zakah to a man so that he can use this money as the mahr (bridal gift) for his marriage?
The Shaykh:
If he is unable to afford the mahr, then helping him with zakah is permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
