The Ruling on Zakat for a Poor Sister
I inherited a sum of money from my father that is subject to zakat, and I have a poor sister. What is the ruling on giving zakat to her?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to give zakat to a poor sister, and you will receive the reward of zakat and the reward of maintaining family ties, and God knows best.
