Is it possible to give the Ushr to relatives?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Can we give the Ushr to relatives?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1023/1018/L=8/1438)

One can give Ushr to persons except one’s Usul (father, grandfather, great-grandfather), Furu (son, grandson, great-grandson) and wife. However one can give Ushr to other relatives such as brother, sister etc in case they are needy ones.

عن أم كلثوم بن عقبة رضي الله عنها قالت : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : أفضل الصدقة على ذي الرحم الكاشح. (شعبة الإيمان للبيهقي 3/239)

قال الطحطاوي: ومن سوى ما ذكر يجوز الدفع إليهم كالإخوة والأخوات والأعمام والعمات والأخوال والخالات الفقراء؛ بل هم أولى لما فيه من الصلة مع الصدقة. (طحطاوي على مراقي الفلاح 393)

Allah knows Best!
