Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man’s sister is divorced and she has children. May I give her from the zakah, knowing that I am currently providing for her, and she has no one besides Allah and me?
Answer:
If you have provided for her needs, she does not need the zakah. May Allah reward you with good. You have made her self-sufficient, so it is not permissible for her to take the zakah, neither from you nor from anyone else, because she has attained sufficiency.
