Question
My brothers and sisters are in need. They are poor and qualify to accept Zakaat. Can I give my own Zakaat to them?
Answer
It is permissible to give your Zakaat to your brothers and sisters who are in need and who do not own the Nisaab amount. It is not permissible to give one's Zakaat to one's own parents/grandparents and children/ grandchildren.
