Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Is it permissible for me to give zakah to my unmarried brother, who has no children, even though my father and mother have passed away?

Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars, and you should not enter into the disagreement. Give him as a voluntary gift and help your brother as a voluntary gift. Yes.
