Q 1: Is it permissible for me to pay the Zakah (obligatory charity) due on me to my stepmother and her children
?
It is to be noted that my father is sick and disabled, their daughters are mentally disabled, and none of their sons works or is married?
A:
It is impermissible to pay your Zakah to your step-siblings and stepmother because they are under your father's custody. It is like paying your Zakah to your father, which is impermissible. Furthermore, if they are poor and you are rich, you have to provide for them.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
