Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to give to a poor brother who has no money and whose parents cannot provide for him, because he is among those eligible to receive Zakat. However, it is necessary to transfer ownership of the Zakat to him so that he can dispose of it himself. It is not permissible for you to buy him a travel ticket or anything else from Zakat money without his permission.
