Is it permissible for a mother to give zakah to her children, and for a wife to give it to her husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This woman is asking: Is it permissible to give a mother's zakah to her children?
The Shaykh:
No, a parent's zakah is not permissible for his child, nor is a child's zakah for his parent, between the two pillars of lineage. Yes.
The questioner:
And for the husband.
The Shaykh:
As for the husband, there is a difference of opinion, and the stronger view, and Allah knows best, is that there is no harm. Yes.
