A:
It is permissible for the woman to
pay the Zakah of her money to her brother, if he is poor, (Part No. 8; Page No. 372) so that he can build his house or use it for any other purpose to satisfy his basic needs. Moreover, paying Zakah to a relative is better than paying it to a non-relative. However, she must pay Zakah every year immediately on its due time and he should collect these funds to help him with the building of his house or to meet his other needs.May Allah grant us success. May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions!
