Paying Zakat to the Owner of a Usurious Loan
A family took a usurious loan and is paying it in installments, and they are in need. Is it permissible to give them Zakat if it is stipulated that they do not use the Zakat for the usurious installment?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to give zakat to them if they are poor and do not own the zakat threshold, and God knows best.
