Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man has a breastfeeding mother. Is it permissible for him to give her from the zakah because she is in need?

Answer:
If she is poor, yes, give her from the zakah. Does she take the ruling of a mother by blood? No, she does not take the ruling of a mother by blood. So give her, even if she is your mother by breastfeeding, as long as she is in need. Yes.
