Giving Zakah to a Brother and a Sister
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, I have two questions. First, regarding zakah, Shaykh, is it permissible to give it to a brother or a sister? And the second is about the expiation for an oath, Shaykh? What is in it? The expiation for an oath. I swore an oath that I would not dine with a certain person, and he swore that I would sit with him. I mean, what is it? I swore and he swore, and I sat and he sat, meaning by the oath. May Allah reward you. Thank you, my brother 'Abdullah, may Allah bless you. Is he asking about the rest of his question? Okay, is he asking about zakah for a brother or a sister?
Answer:
Yes, they are more deserving of it if they are poor, for charity to a relative is two rewards: the reward of charity and the reward of kinship, maintaining family ties, so it becomes charity and maintaining ties, yes.
