Giving the Grandmother from Zakat al-Mal for Kidney Dialysis
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: He says: My grandmother has kidney failure. May Allah protect us, you, and her.
The Shaykh:
May Allah.
The questioner:
She used to receive dialysis at the expense of a donating organization. Now, this donation has been stopped for her. He asks: Is it permissible for me to give my grandmother from my zakat for this dialysis?
The Shaykh:
No, give her from other than zakat. Zakat is not permissible from a father to his son, nor from a son to his father. Give her from other than zakat. And this is obligatory upon you if there is no one else to provide for what she needs; you must provide for it yourself. Yes.
