The Ruling on Buying Wedding Items from Zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have zakah on my wealth, and my sister’s daughter is about to get married. Yes. I have zakah on my wealth, and my sister’s daughter is about to get married, and her father is poor. I want to buy some of her wedding items for her. If I give the money to her father, he might not pay attention to it or be short in providing it. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
No, my brother. The woman has a mahr (bridal gift) due from her husband. She has a mahr that is paid to her, and she buys her needs from it. What is the mahr for? It is so she can buy her needs and necessities. The mahr is sufficient for her instead of zakah. Yes.
