The Ruling on Giving to a Brother from Zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, I gave my brother zakat on my wealth, knowing that he is an employee, but his income is not enough for his family.
Answer:
If, as you mentioned, his income is not enough for his family and he is supporting them, then there is no harm in that, or rather, this is good, and you give him your zakat, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Charity to a needy relative is charity and maintaining family ties, and it counts as two charities.” Yes.
