Paying Zakat al-Fitr for the Poor
There are orphans who cannot pay their Zakat, is it permissible for me to pay it on their behalf or is it only allowed from their personal funds?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Zakat al-Fitr is not obligatory except for those who own one hundred grams of gold, and the like are not required to pay Zakat al-Fitr, but it should be given to them as Zakat al-Fitr, and God knows best.
