Explaining the method for identifying the recipients of zakat al-fitr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q139: The questioner asks: What is your advice to Muslims regarding seeking out the poor; that is, giving zakat al-fitr to those who are entitled to it?
A139: Everyone knows his neighbors and those around him, so he should give to the poor among them. If he does not know them, he should ask those around him, who know the poor. If a person strives and takes an interest, he will know the poor; but if he does not take an interest in asking and seeking out the needs of the poor, he is not one who is concerned about his religion.
