Giving Zakat to a Brother While Living in a Shared Residence

We all brothers live in the same house and share food, and I (the questioner) am eligible to receive Zakat. My elder brother gave me Zakat—will his Zakat be considered fulfilled or not?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

f the questioner does not possess 7.5 tolas of gold, 52.5 tolas of silver, or cash, trade goods, or surplus belongings equal to their value, and he is not a Sayyid, then in such a case it is Islamically permissible and valid for his brother to give him Zakat, and the Zakat of the giver will undoubtedly be considered fulfilled.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کما في الفتاوى الهندية:فهي تمليك المال من فقير مسلم غير هاشمي، ولا مولاه بشرط قطع المنفعة عن المملك من كل وجه لله - تعالى -(1/ 170)۔
وفی الدر المختار: أي مصرف الزكاة (الی قولہ) (هو فقير، وهو من له أدنى شيء) أي دون نصاب أو قدر نصاب غير نام مستغرق في الحاجة الخ (باب المصرف،ج 2، ص 339، ط: سعید)۔
