Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to give the maid a gift or charity due to her need. Similarly, she can be given from zakat if her family in her home country is needy and her salary is insufficient. However, if her salary is sufficient, it is not permissible to give her from zakat. The zakat payer must not benefit from giving it to the maid.
