Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for me to give zakah to my daughter because her husband does not provide for her?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. A father’s zakah is not for his child, neither his son nor his daughter, and a child’s zakah is not for his father. Give her voluntary charity, or a gift, or maintain family ties, but not zakah. Yes.
