Is it permissible to give a granddaughter from Zakat money for the purpose of marriage?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The preponderant opinion is that it is permissible for a parent to give his to his offspring if their maintenance is not obligatory upon him. The issue of whether the maintenance of a daughter's child is obligatory upon the grandfather is a matter of scholarly disagreement. Therefore, if her maintenance is not obligatory upon you, and she does not possess the means to get married, then it is permissible for you to give her your Zakat; otherwise, it is not.
