The ruling on giving zakah to the questioner's poor daughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am a woman who owns money that has reached the nisab. Is it valid for me to give this zakah to my poor, married daughter?
Answer:
It is not permissible to give zakah to a child, nor to the father or grandfather. It is not permissible for the ancestors in the line of descent, nor for the descendants, whether they are married or unmarried. If a close relative, whether an ancestor or a descendant, is in need and you are wealthy, it is obligatory for you to spend from your wealth on him, and you must not make zakah a means of protecting your wealth. Yes.
