The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: Is it permissible for me to give my zakah to my maternal aunt, paternal aunt, and sister?
The Shaykh:
Do not give it to those whose financial maintenance is obligatory for you. As for your relatives whose maintenance is not obligatory for you, if they are in need, they are the most deserving of it. Yes.
The presenter:
Is the sister among those whose maintenance is obligatory?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if she has no one to provide for her, it is obligatory for her relative to do so. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
