Advice on paying Zakat al-Fitr from good quality food and appointing an agent

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Perhaps you would offer advice to our honorable Muslim brothers to pay attention to this zakah, the charity of Fitr, and not be negligent in it.

Answer:
Yes, this is obligatory; it is a debt upon the servant. He must be careful to pay it out, giving it from the good, and not from the bad. Allah the Exalted said: meaning the bad . Allah the Exalted said: . Therefore, he must give it from the good or at least the average. As for the bad, it is not permissible to give it from that. He must also strive to deliver it to those who are entitled to it at the time of payment, and not delay it past the day of the festival. Rather, he pays it to the one who is entitled to it, or to his agent if the entitled person has an agent. He pays it to his agent, and the agent takes charge of paying it out. If a Muslim appoints someone to pay his zakat al-fitr on his behalf, that is sufficient. It is permissible to appoint an agent in this matter, but one should not appoint anyone except one in whom he trusts that he will perform this task and fulfill it on time. Yes.
