Giving a large sum of zakaat money to a single person
Question
I have a question about zakah. Can someone donate £100,000 (British) of zakah to a single person who is eligible?
Answer
Yes. Though it is makrooh to give him such a huge amount that will make him the owner of nisaab.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
