The Ruling on Giving Zakah to a Son
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a son who is a military employee, and he has debts, and his salary is not enough for him. Is it permissible to give him from the zakah?
Answer:
Your zakah is not permissible for your son, and the father’s zakah is not the son’s zakah for his father. You may help him from other than the zakah. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. May Allah reward you.
