Accepting Multiple Agencies for Zakat al-Fitr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is given many agencies, is there any harm in paying them to him?

Answer:
As long as he is able to execute the agencies, there is no harm, because zakat al-fitr is time-bound and has a specific time limit. If the agent is able to execute the agencies within the time prescribed by the Shari'ah and deliver them to those who are entitled to them, it is permissible for him to accept the agencies. This is cooperation with his Muslim brothers. However, if he is unable to execute them within their time, it is not permissible for him to accept the agency to pay them, nor to pay them in a manner that is valid and prescribed. Yes.
