A Quick Reminder (Zakatul-Fitr)
💠 What is the measure for Zakaah al-Fitr?
Ibn Baaz said:
What is mandatory for this is one Saa’ from the food of the country and its measurement is with Kilos—approximately three Kilos
(al-Fataawaa 14-203).
💠 When is the time for giving Zakaah al-Fitr?
Ibn Baaz said:
It is given on the days of the 28th, 29th, and 30th as well as the night of ‘Eed. It is also given in the morning of ‘Eed before the Prayer
(al-Fataawaa 14/32-33).
💠 Who is Zakaah al-Fitr given to?
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is not to be given except to the poor
(al-Fataawaa 18/259).
💠 What is the ruling on entrusting children or other than them with giving Zakaah al-Fitr on a person’s behalf?
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is permissible for a person to authorize his children to give Zakaah al-Fitr on his behalf at its time even if he is in another country at the time for work
(al-Fataawaa 18/262).
💠 Is it permissible for the poor to authorize someone else to take the Zakaah al-Fitr for him?
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is permissible.
(al-Fataawaa 18/268).
💠 Is there a specific statement that should be made when giving Zakaah al-Fitr?
We do not know of any specific Du’aa (Supplication) that is said at the time of giving it
(al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah 9/387).
💠 Is it permissible to give Zakaah al-Fitr in its worth (in money)?
Ibn Baaz said:
It is not permissible to give it's worth (with cash) according to the opinion of many scholars due to its opposition to the direct statement of the Prophet— ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ —and his companions— ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ
(al-Fataawaa 14/32).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
Giving it in cash will not suffice, because it has been prescribed to be given in food
(al-Fataawaa 18/265).
💠 Is it permissible to give Zakaah al-Fitr in a country different from the one its giver is in?
Ibn Baaz said:
The Sunnah is to distribute it amongst the poor in the country of the one giving it and to not give it in cash in a different country so that he can enrich the poor from his country and satisfy their need.
(al-Fataawaa 14/213).
💠 Where is Zakaah al-Fitr given?
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
Zakaah al-Fitr is dispensed in the land that you are in upon breaking the fast [of Ramadaan] even if it is far from your country.
💠 Is Zakaah al-Fitr given for a fetus?
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is not given on the fetus’s behalf due to it being obligatory; rather it is given because it is highly recommended
(al-Fataawa 18/263).
💠 Is it permissible to give Zakaah al-Fitr to Non-Muslim workers?
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is not permissible to give it to other than the poor from the Muslims
(al-Fataawaa 18/285).
💠 Is the Zakaah al-Fitr for a single person given to just one individual or can it be dispersed amongst several people?
It is permissible to give the Zakaah al-Fitr for a single person to an individual just as it permissible to distribute it amongst a number of people
(al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah 9/377).
💠 What is the ruling on the one who accepts Zakaah al-Fitr and then sells it?
If the one who took it was deserving of it, it is permissible for him to sell it upon receiving it.
(al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah 9/380).
💠 Delaying the giving of the Zakaah al-Fitr to after ‘Eid without an excuse.
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
Delaying it until after the Salaah is Haraam (impermissible) and it will not suffice.
(al-Fataawaa 18/266).
