Question
To whom is best to give Zakaat to?
Answer
The best recipients for your Zakaat are those needy family people to whom it is permissible to give Zakaat to. They would be brothers, sisters, their children, uncles, aunties and so on followed by neighbours, people of your locality, people of your town etc. All this on the condition that they are legitimate recipients of Zakaat.
