Considering Helping a Woman with Household Expenses as Zakat
A woman helps her husband with household expenses and the education of the children. Does this count as Zakat from her wealth, or should she pay the required amount when it reaches the nisab?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The zakat of a woman does not count for her children and husband, but rather it is considered charity. She must pay the zakat on her wealth, and God knows best.
