The ruling on giving zakah to a poor sister
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I have a sister who is married, but she is poor. Is it permissible for me to give her from my zakah?
Answer:
If her husband is poor, why do you not give to her husband who provides for her? Give to her husband who provides for her, because he is responsible for her, if he is poor. But if her husband is wealthy, he provides for her; he is compelled to provide for her, and she will not be in need in that case. Yes.
