Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah alone, and may peace and blessings be upon the one after whom there is no prophet, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows, may Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you, and may Allah reward you with the best reward for the Muslims. Your Eminence the Shaykh, there is a lot of questioning about the rulings of zakah. The first question regarding zakat al-fitr: Is it permissible to pay it within this country for individuals who are outside this country?

Answer:
Yes, zakat al-fitr is attached to the person, attached to the person, because it is a purification of the person. So you pay it in the country where you are when the end of the month arrives. You pay it in the country where you are when the end of Ramadan arrives. It is attached to the person; it is the purification of the person. So you give it to the poor of that country.
