Is it permissible to give Zakat al-Mal (obligatory charity on wealth) to one's grandmother, and what is the ruling concerning someone who unknowingly gave it to her on previous occasions?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to give anything from a grandchild's to his grandmother, because she is among his ascendants. If one gives it to her, it is not considered valid, and he must pay the Zakat on his wealth again.
