What is the ruling on Zakat for parents and brothers?
Answers
Ibrahim Saleh Al-Husseini: It is permissible for you to give zakat to parents, as well as to relatives and siblings. It’s permitted to give Zakat to parents because basically you don’t have to give expense to them without being poor parents. But, if they are so poor then it’s not permitted to spend money for them from the amount of Zakat. Whenever a person gives zakat to his relatives, he has fulfilled the right of God, the Blessed and Exalted be He, and he connected the kinship and received double reward,
