Is it permissible for a mother to put her Zakat money into her mentally disabled daughter's savings account, and is it permissible for an employed sister to give her Zakat money to her disabled sister?
If the bank does not adhere to the provisions of Islamic , then its transactions are not permissible, and the profits from the savings account are forbidden.
The financial support () of the disabled sister is obligatory upon the mother if there is no other provider for her than her mother, and she (the sister) has no wealth. In this case, it is not permissible for the mother to give her to your sister, because it is not permissible for someone to give their zakat to a person whose financial support is obligatory upon them. As for you, it is permissible for you to give your zakat to your sister if she is poor or needy. Her being mentally disabled alone is not sufficient for her to be among the recipients of zakat.
