The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Brothers and Paternal Uncles

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah love you, is it permissible to give zakah to brothers and paternal uncles?

Answer:
If he does not inherit from them. If he is blocked from inheriting from them, it is permissible if they are poor. They are more deserving; the needy relative is more deserving of his relative's zakah.
