Question:
Also, there is another point regarding relatives, Shaykh Salih, such as a daughter, a sister, an uncle, or an aunt. Do we give to them as well?
Answer:
No. Daughters, sons, fathers, and grandfathers are not given from zakah. They are the ancestors and descendants, because it is obligatory for him to spend on them if they are in need, and if he is wealthy, he spends on them. He does not make zakah a means of protecting his wealth. Zakah is not permissible for my direct line of descent.
