The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Restaurant Employees

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to give the zakah of my wealth to the employees who work for me in the restaurant?

Answer:
If you give it to them to encourage them to work for you, it is not permissible. If you give it to them because of their need and poverty, there is no harm in that.
