There
is no harm in her paying her Zakaah on jewellery to her poor
or debtor husband
Question:
Can a wife pay the Zakaah on her jewellery to husband given
that he receives a salary of about 4,000 riyals is in debt
30,000 riyals?
Response:
There is no harm in a woman paying the Zakaah of her jewellery
or other Zakaah to her husband if he is poor or is in debt
and he is not able to pay off the debt, according to the strongest
of the opinions among the scholars. This opinion is based
on the generality of the evidences, including Allaah's statement,
"Zakaah are only for the poor and the indigent..." (at-Towbah
60).
