Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who collects zakah funds and gives some of them to his poor parents, knowing that he is unable to spend on them?
Answer:
If he is asking people for help for his poor brothers, including his parents, and they are poor, then he is rewarded. He is an agent, acting as an agent for those who gave him the zakah. If he is truthful and seeks out those in need, then there is no harm in him giving to his parents and to others besides his parents, if they are poor. Yes.
