Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, among the questions, this questioner says: I am in a foreign land, and last year, Honorable Shaykh, I appointed someone to pay my zakat al-fitr, but they did not pay it on my behalf. This year, I want to make up for the previous year and pay it all together two days before the festival.
Answer:
What is this making up? It remains a debt in your responsibility, my brother. You must pay it, even if it is delayed, because it remained a debt in your responsibility. Then you pay the zakat al-fitr for this year. Yes.
