Giving zakaah to a woman to buy a house for investment purposes
Question: 11432
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If she is in need of this investment, there is nothing wrong with that. Otherwise she should sell the house and pay off the loan.
