The ruling on giving zakat al-mal to a sister whose husband has died
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good. I move on to another question, may Allah preserve you. The sender, Abu Badr from Tabuk, says: My question is, is it permissible for me to give the zakat of my wealth to my sister whose husband has died, and who has a group of children? May Allah reward you with the best reward.
Answer:
If she has children, especially if she has male children, and she is poor, then she is more deserving of your zakat than anyone else. This is because charity to a needy relative carries two rewards: the reward of charity and the reward of maintaining family ties. Yes.
