The ruling on giving a father's zakah to his son, and the reverse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This question, Honorable Shaykh, says: In the past, I used to receive charity and assistance from people of good, and I had a group of disabled children. Then Allah opened the door for me, and I became self-sufficient, no longer in need of this charity, and I became wealthy. These are my children. Do I give them from my zakah?
Answer:
A father's zakah is not permissible for his son, and the reverse is not permissible: a son's zakah is not permissible for his father. Neither the ancestors nor the descendants.
