Question:
What is the ruling on giving zakah, or part of it, to a person who is unable to marry? For example, if a father gives his relative zakah so that he can get married, because he is unable to marry?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with giving a person who is unable to marry from the zakah what helps him to get married; there is no harm in that. He is poor in the situation described, so one who is unable to marry is considered poor; zakah may be given to him until he gets married. Yes.
