Ruling on distributing zakah to a single family

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: If a person pays the zakah of his wealth, and it is a small amount, such as two hundred riyals, is it better to give it to one needy family or to distribute it among several needy families? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.

A: If the zakah is a small amount, it is more preferable and better to give it to one needy family; because distributing it among many families while it is small reduces its benefit.
