Giving one's zakaat to one's brother
Question
1. Is it permissible to give my zakaah funds to my brother because he has lost his job and cannot make "ends meat"? (He does not have the zakaat nisaab).
2. If it is not permissible to give my brother, then , can I give it to his wife who also falls in the category of a zakaah recipient?
Answer
Yes
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
