The ruling on giving zakah to a brother, sister, or mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a man to give the zakah of his wealth to his brother, sister, or mother if they are in need?
Answer:
As for the mother, it is not permissible. The zakah of a son is not permissible for his father, and we do not know of the zakah of a father being permissible for his son; this is not permissible. As for his sister or brother, if there is someone who prevents them from inheriting, such as if they have sons who prevent him from inheriting from them, then there is no harm in giving them zakah if they are in need.
