Sahih al-Bukhari 1466 (Book 24, Hadith 68) #1407
Giving Zakat to Relatives

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Zainab, the wife of Abdullah, who asked the Prophet (pbuh) if it was permissible for her to spend part of her Zakat on her husband and orphans under her protection. The Prophet (pbuh) said that it was permissible and she would receive double rewards for helping relatives and giving Zakat.

Narrated 'Amr bin Al-Harith: Zainab, the wife of 'Abdullah said, "I was in the Mosque and saw the Prophet (pbuh) saying, 'O women ! Give alms even from your ornaments'. " Zainab used to provide for 'Abdullah and those orphans who were under her protection. So she said to 'Abdullah, "Will you ask Allah's Messenger ﷺ whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakat on you and the orphans who are under my protection?" He replied "Will you yourself ask Allah's Messenger ﷺ ?" (Zainab added): So I went to the Prophet and I saw there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet ﷺ ) with a similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet ﷺ whether it is permissible for me to spend (the Zakat) on my husband and the orphans under my protection'. And we requested Bilal not to inform the Prophet ﷺ about us. So Bilal went inside and asked the Prophet ﷺ regarding our problem. The Prophet (pbuh) asked, "Who are those two?" Bilal replied that she was Zainab. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Which Zainab?" Bilal said, "The wife of 'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud)". The Prophet said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double rewards (for that): One for helping relatives, and the other for giving Zakat".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Zainab, the wife of Abdullah, who wanted to know if it was permissible for her to spend part of her Zakat on her husband and orphans under her protection. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ answered that it was indeed permissible and she would receive double rewards from Allah SWT for helping relatives as well as giving charity in the form of Zakat. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous with our wealth by spending some portion of our income in charity or helping those in need around us such as family members or orphans. It also shows us how important it is to help those close to us since Allah SWT will reward us doubly when we do so out of kindness and generosity.
