Is it permissible to give zakat to one's poor daughter who is married to a poor man?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a daughter marries, her maintenance obligation falls away from her father because her maintenance becomes the responsibility of her husband. For this reason, it is permissible for the father to give to his married daughter, and it is not permissible for him to do so if her maintenance is obligatory upon him.
