Giving Zakah for one to marry Fatwa No: 84173
- Fatwa Date:15-5-2002
Can I give Zakah to a young person who wants to marry?
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
There is no harm in giving Zakah to a young man who cannot afford to marry. The one who is incapable to bear the expenses of his marriage is needy; and a needy is among those who are entitled to receive Zakah money.
Allah knows best.
