Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a married young man, and I live in an apartment above my father. I have no monthly income except for the mosque stipend. Is it permissible for my father to pay it on my behalf and on behalf of my wife?
Answer:
Yes, if his father volunteers to pay the zakat al-fitr, yes. I buy it. If someone from the people, who is not his father, came and said, "Look, I will pay it on his behalf," and I said, "He does not buy it," no, there is no harm in that, yes.
