Ruling on Giving Zakah to a Sister
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to give my sister my zakah, given that she has no income other than the pension of my deceased father?
Answer:
If your sister is independent, living alone in a house, and is unable to work, and she has nothing to support her, then you may give her the zakah. However, if she is with you in the house and you are providing for her, then no, do not give her your zakah; she is wealthy because of your provision for her. If you provide for her from your own wealth and give the zakah to someone else, that is better and more cautious, if you are able. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
