Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to pay Zakat al-Fitr on my behalf and on behalf of my family in the country of the sacred precinct, given that my family is in my home country, and I have not appointed anyone to pay it on my behalf?
Answer:
Yes, you pay the Fitr alms for your children along with your own in the country where you are, if they are not paying it for themselves there. In that case, you pay their Fitr alms along with your own in the country where you are. If they are paying it for themselves, then you pay for yourself, and they pay for themselves in their home country.
