The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Children and Brothers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner, Umm Muhammad, says: Shaykh, I have zakah, and I have a property. I give this zakah to my children and my brothers every year. Is this permissible or not?
Answer:
As for your giving zakah to your children, this is not lawful and it does not suffice for you, because the zakah of a father is not lawful for his son, nor is the zakah of a son lawful for his father. As for your giving it to your brothers, if they are poor, have dependents, and are in need, then there is no harm in that.
