Giving a poor, employed brother from the zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, is it permissible to give my older brother a portion of the zakah, specifically the zakah on wealth, knowing that he is an employee, but his income is not sufficient for his poor family?
Answer:
Yes, rather, he is the most deserving. Charity to a needy relative is two charities: charity and maintaining family ties. Yes.
