The Ruling on Giving Zakah to a Grandmother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions, this questioner says: Is it permissible for me to give zakah to my grandmother, who is a widow? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
Your zakah is not permissible for your grandmother, whether on the father’s side or the mother’s side, because a person’s zakah is not permissible for his parents or his grandfathers and grandmothers. This is because he is required to provide for them if they are in financial difficulty and he is wealthy; it is obligatory for him to provide their maintenance. So do not make the zakah a means of protecting your wealth. Yes.
The presenter:
