The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Sons and Daughters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you, a questioner says: I have a son in the house who is twenty-three years old and needs to get married. I also have a daughter who is stuck in the house, and her husband does not provide for her. Is it permissible for me to give them from my zakah?

Answer:
The zakah of a father is not permissible for his son, nor the reverse, and the zakah of a son is not permissible for his father. Rather, it is to be given to the needy among relatives and others. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
