Question:
In another question, she says: What is the ruling if my husband forgot to pay zakat al-fitr? What should he do now? And is there an expiation for it?
Answer:
If he forgets to pay the alms of fitr before the festival prayer, or on the day of the festival after the prayer, he must make it up by paying it as a make-up payment and not leave it, saying that its time has passed. It is a debt in his liability, so he pays it as a make-up payment if its time has passed, just like other obligatory acts of worship. Yes.
