Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a father to give his son from the zakah to help him with marriage?

Answer:
No, a father does not give his son from the zakah, neither to help him with marriage nor for anything else. Yes. However, if the son is poor and unable to marry, and the father is wealthy, it is obligatory for the father to marry him. But if the son is able to marry, he marries himself. Yes.
