The ruling on giving zakah to one's mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. As for the zakah of wealth, Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for me to give it to my mother, even if she is not in need?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The zakah of wealth: he asks, "Do I give it to my mother, even if she is not in need?"
The Shaykh:
No, zakah is not permissible for a son or for a father. The vertical line of kinship: zakah is not permissible for some of them to give to others. My brother, because if they are in need, you are obligated to provide for them, so do not make the zakah a protection for your wealth. Yes.
