Ruling on Giving Zakah to Employees

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a merchant has employees in his shop or establishment, with a salary of six hundred riyals for each person, is it permissible for the merchant to give them his zakah?
Yes.
It is permissible to give it to them if they are among those eligible for zakah,For example: such as if they have families and their salaries are not sufficient for them, or if they have debts and their salaries do not cover those debts, or similar circumstances. The important thing is that if they are among those eligible for zakah, there is no blame on him for giving it to them, even if they are employees or servants in his service.
