Question:
The second question, Shaykh. Please. I have a son who is a military employee, and he has debts, and his salary is not enough to cover them. Is it permissible for me to give him from the zakah?
Answer:
Your zakah is not permissible for your son, nor is the son’s zakah permissible for his father, but help him from other than the zakah.
The presenter:
Thank you, thank you.
