Is a mother through breastfeeding eligible to receive from zakah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The sixth is that a mother through breastfeeding and a brother through breastfeeding are given from the zakah.
The Shaykh : The answer is yes, a mother through breastfeeding and a sister through breastfeeding are given from the zakah if they are entitled to it. This is because it is not obligatory to provide financial maintenance for a mother through breastfeeding or a sister through breastfeeding. Therefore, they are given from the zakah on the condition that the quality of entitlement is established in them.
