The Ruling on Giving Zakah to the Parents' Workers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm 'Abdullah, we are concluding this episode with her message. She says: My parents have workers who receive salaries, some of whom get five hundred and some a thousand. They are Muslim Indians. Is it permissible for my mother to give them from her zakah on her wealth?
Answer:
Yes, if they are Muslims and poor, they are like any other Muslims in terms of zakah. However, this is on the condition that the intention is not to encourage them in their work or service, or to motivate them to serve. The goal must not be that. Rather, she gives to them because of their need and poverty. How?
