Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on increasing the zakat for a child? They return every year with thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), thirty sa', and they give out a full sack.
Answer:
There is no harm in increasing it if you give it as a voluntary donation; there is no harm. This is a good thing. If you give the obligatory amount and give voluntary charity with it, that is a good thing.
