And Allah, it is not permissible to give to a brother from the zakah.
Answer:
If he is poor, yes. A brother, an uncle, or a maternal uncle, if they are in an independent status, not dependent on his maintenance, not in his house, and are independent, and this is the rule regarding what is obligatory upon you. Yes. He does not give to them, he does not give to them. But he does not give to his ancestors or descendants at all, and he does not give to his fathers, grandfathers, and the descendants of his children, his father’s children, and his daughters’ children; because it is obligatory upon him to provide for them, in the punishment.
