Paying Zakat al-Fitr on Behalf of Servants

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do these servants have to pay Zakat al-Fitr themselves, or do their guardians have to pay it for them, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
The default is that it is obligatory for them to pay it. If their guardians pay it on their behalf, there is no harm in that; it suffices for them. Yes.
