The mother of a zakaatable family inheriting a large some of money

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A family was eligible for zakaat. The mother in this family just inherited a fairly large sum of money from a deceased relative. However, she says that she wants to keep this sum of money for herself and does not want to spend it on her family. Are the father and the children in this family still eligible to receive zakaat?

Bismillaah

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
