Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who are the workers on zakah, and who distributes the iftar in Ramadan from the alms of breaking the fast?
Answer:
The workers on zakah are those appointed by the imam. Those appointed by the imam and sent out to collect the zakah are the workers on it. As for the alms of breaking the fast, each person who gives his alms of breaking the fast is the one who takes charge of it, gives it out, and hands it to the poor person. Yes. It does not require workers. He himself gives it out. Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the Muslims to give it out before the festival prayer, so each person gives his alms himself and hands it to the poor. And if he appoints someone he trusts to give it out, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
