Recommendation of Paying Zakat of FItra to a Poor Person
Issue No. 1698- If a person is poor but possesses three Kilos of wheat and the like, it is recommended that he should pay zakāt of fiṭrah. If he has family members and wishes to pay their zakāt of fiṭrah as well, he can give those three Kilos to one of his family members with the intention of zakāt of fiṭrah, then give it to another family member and so on until the last person; it is better though, that the last person should give what he receives to a person who is not one of them. In case one of them is a minor his legal guardian can take zakāt of fiṭrah on his behalf and then give it to another person.
