The Fiqh of Paying Zakat: Can it be givento parents, a spouse, children, relatives� ?

Question:
Can a Muslim pay their zakat to his/her own parents if they have no
means of income and are living in a different house?
Answer:
Wa'alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah, The giver cannot materially benefit
from giving their zakat. As such, one cannot give zakat to one's
parents, children, or spouse, because benefits between these people
are shared. [Ibn Abidin and Haskafi, Radd al-Muhtar `ala al-Durr
al-Mukhtar 2.2-4; Ibn al-Humam and Marghinani, Fath al-Qadir Sharh
al-Hidaya ]
