Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am married to a woman who has two children from a previous husband. His question is: Is it permissible for me to give them from my zakah, since they do not receive any financial support from their father?
Answer:
You give to their father so that he provides for them. These are minors; they are not given zakah directly. It is given to the one who provides for them. Yes.
