    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    A person not performing salah regularly also can receive Zakah if he is poor deserving Zakah, the Zakah will be valid. If you have paid your Zakah to any deserving relative, your Zakah was paid off and there is no need to pay it again. It should be noted that Zakah can be given only to those relatives who are not one?s parents and offspring.
