Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there evidence for prioritizing the mother, then the father, over the children in giving zakat al-fitr?

Answer:
The hadith says:
to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'من أبر؟ قال أمك قال ثم من؟ قال أمك قال ثم من؟ قال أمك قال ثم من؟ قال
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 5
In the fourth place, your father. So prioritize the mother through dutifulness. Yes, prioritize her in financial maintenance and in zakat al-fitr, because this is part of dutifulness. Yes.
