Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man died leaving behind a wife and sons and daughters, and it became clear that this wealth had zakat due on it. Is it permissible for one of the sons of the daughters to take from this wealth for marriage?The Shaykh: Do you mean it became clear that this deceased man had zakat on his wealth that he did not pay?The questioner: He did not pay it.
The Shaykh: So, is it permissible for us to give the sons of his daughters from his zakat?The questioner: That means the children of the deceased would be his maternal uncles and maternal aunts.
The sons of the daughters do not inherit, so they have no inheritance.
The questioner: They inherit from their mother.
The Shaykh: Their mother has not died.
The questioner: It is permissible for us to give them from the zakat, from the zakat of the deceased.
The questioner: Because he did not pay out this zakat. I mean, the zakat might be for the sons and the wife?Answer: No, they are the heirs now, and they are convinced that they will pay out the zakat in any case. So, do we give it to the sons of the daughters or not?We say: There is nothing wrong with that.
