May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for a mother to give her son from the zakah if he is in need?

Zakah is not lawful for the descendant or the ancestor. It is not permissible to give it to your children or your children’s children, no matter how far down the line they are, nor is it permissible to give it to your fathers or grandfathers, no matter how far up the line they are. It is not permissible from the descendants to the ancestors, nor from the ancestors to the descendants. Yes, because you are obligated to provide for them. If they are poor, you are obligated to provide for them. Yes.
