Is it permissible to give zakat to one's grandmother, maternal aunt, and paternal aunt?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to give zakat to relatives for whom one is not obligated to spend, such as paternal aunts (ammāt) and maternal aunts (khālāt), if they are among the eight categories. As for the grandmother, she is not given from her grandson's zakat, because she is among his ascendants.
