Question:
This sister, Umm Sa'ud, is following the program and is making du'a for Your Eminence. She says: Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve you) and may He guide you, is it permissible for a father to give his son's or daughter's children from the zakah, knowing that they are in need of this zakah?
Answer:
No, he does not give it to his ancestors or his descendants. That is, he does not give it to his fathers and grandfathers, nor does he give it to his sons and his sons' sons from the zakah. His zakah is not permissible for his descendants or his ancestors; rather, he gives to them from other than the zakah. Yes.
