Is it permissible for a man to give his zakah to his poor son?

The Shaykh : Another example: My son is poor and has a poor family; he has a poor family, and I am wealthy. It costs me ten thousand riyals a year to provide for him and his family. Is it permissible for me to give him ten thousand riyals from my zakah? Reflect, my brothers. We say: No, a poor person is not... anything. We say: It is not permissible for you to give him anything from your zakah, because you are wealthy and he is poor. If the father is wealthy and the son is poor, it is obligatory for the father to provide for the son and his family. If he gave him from the zakah, he would save himself money. How would he save himself? By the maintenance. Instead of giving him ten thousand as maintenance, he says, "I will give you ten thousand as zakah." We say this is not possible, because you are now saving yourself, unlike a debt.
