Q: If anybody wants to give zakaat to their sister's daughter on her marriage. They have a house and their way of life is normal. But in the age of today, a marriage arrangements is a burden on them.
In this matter, can we give zakaat to them without telling them that this is zakat so they can buy some things. In this case some other people also help them, somebody gave a bedset, someone gave other things. What does Islam say about this.
A: If they are eligible to receive zakaat, then zakaat can be given to them. You do not have to tell them it is zakaat. Under the pretext of a gift, you can give them the money.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
