Question
Can the mother and sister through breastfeeding be given zakah?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
Yes, the mother and sister through breastfeeding may be given zakah if they are entitled to zakah, because the mother and sister through breastfeeding are not people on whom one is obliged to spend, so they may be given zakah, so long as it is proven that they are entitled to it. End quote.
And Allah knows best.
