Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can I give zakat to my maid? Her daughter had an accident and needs surgery. So can I help her with the money I had kept for zakat..she is poor and doesn\u2019t have gold or property?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is permissible to use Zakat funds in this scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is because the recipient (the maid’s daughter) does not fall under those prohibited to discharge zakat.1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Discharging Zakat in this scenario is not disliked as it is separate from the wages.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/p>\n
