Title: Zakat to a brother who owns property

Question: There is a family of 7 brothers and 3 sisters that own some property. 1 brother passed away, 4 brothers are well off while 1 brother is rich and the other brother who is poor and has a daughter that works is suffering from cancer. His brothers suggest that he takes zakah from a zakah organization for the treatment of his cancer. Despite their situation, my question is that is it permissible for him to take zakah from the organization?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 900/900/M=1434) The brother who is poor and is entitled to receive zakah may take zakah money and may spend the money for the treatment of his daughter. Those brothers who are rich they should also support their poor brother.

Q. I am working in the Netherlands and would like to request you to kindly guide me for following question. I along with some of family members would like to start a student welfare fund from Zakat money. Where we are planning to collect our zakat money in a separate account and give to different deserving students (orphans etc.) for higher studies. But this will be a soft loan without any interest, service charges or time limitations. When candidate will start job, he has to return with 10 % of his salary. This returning money will be used for further students. In this case once money is gone from our pocket as for zakat, it will never come back but will be in circle for deserving students. Please let me know the Islamic value of above mentioned process. Is it allowed to do like this or not? Thank you very much in advance for your kind guidance. 1056 views
