The ruling on paying zakah in kind to a family of orphans
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I have zakah that I want to pay to a family of relatives whose father passed away, leaving behind a group of orphans and their widowed mother. Is it necessary for me to pay them the zakah in cash, or is it permissible for me to buy something in kind with it? This is because they may not be good at managing the zakah if it were in cash.
Answer:
Pay the zakah to their agent, the agent who must have an agent. Pay the zakah to their agent, and he will spend it on their interests.
