Q138: The questioner asks: What is the criterion for poverty that exempts one from paying zakat al-fitr?
A138: It is the one who does not find any surplus beyond his sustenance for the day, nor beyond the sustenance of those he is responsible for, on the day of the festival and its night. This is the one for whom it is not obligatory. As for the one who finds a surplus, he must pay it.
