Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My grandmother has kidney failure, may Allah protect us, you, and her. She was being treated with dialysis at the expense of a donating organization, but now that donation has been stopped. His question is: Am I allowed to give my grandmother from my zakah for the sake of this dialysis?
Answer:
No, give her from other than zakah. Zakah is not permissible from a father to his son, nor from a son to his father. Give her from other than zakah. And this is obligatory for you if there is no one else to provide for what she needs; in that case, you must provide for it yourself. Yes.
