The ruling on giving zakah to a poor sister and her husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks and says: What is your opinion on giving zakah from money to a sister if she is poor, and is it better to give it to her husband?
Answer:
If she has a husband who provides for her, then she is entitled to the zakah. If her husband is poor and cannot provide for her, it is given to the husband so that he can spend it on her. The one who is given the money is the one who provides, and the woman does not provide; it is her husband who provides. So it is given to the husband so that he can spend it on himself, on her, and on their children.
