Is it permissible to give zakah to a brother?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: His brother has a good salary. Is it permissible for him to give him from the zakah?

Answer:
No, if he has an income that is sufficient for him, the zakah is not permissible for him. Zakah is only for the poor who have no income, or a small income that does not suffice them. These are the ones who are given from the zakah.
