Q: My brother-in-law is a poor person and he lives in a house owned by his wife (my sister). My sister has gold jewellery and she pays zakaat on it regularly.
1. Can I pay my zakaat to her husband who can do business or spend that money on his wife and children?
2. Can my sister give her zakaat to her husband but she has no source of income and she pays her zakaat from the pocket money that she receives from her parents?
A:
1. Yes, it is permissible for you to give him zakaat.
2. It is not permissible for the wife to give her husband zakaat. If she gives him zakaat, her zakaat will not be discharged.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
