They do  not get any support from the government in the form of pension etc.  They do not have any other source of income. I am a salaried person. And  his children live with me.

I  am asking this because that is not possible for me. I cannot tell them.<\/div>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>We  can pay the zakah to all the near relatives. In fact it is even better  to spend the zakah on the nearest relatives for their right on a  believer is more pressing that the right of remotely related and  unrelated people. <\/p>\n<p>You  do not need to disclose it to them. However, you may not think of doing  this as a favour to them. This I say because the zakah is the  obligation you owe to God. It is not merely a charity work. You may not  therefore think of a return from them. I hope you do you do not expect  any return from them and you are doing this out of love for them but I  just wanted to explain as it is very important that we are clear on the  nature of obligation. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6860\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My  brother expired a few years back.
