Paying Zakat al-Fitr after Ramadan for one who did not have money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Before the end of Ramadan, I did not have money to buy Zakat al-Fitr,
The Shaykh:
We dig into.
The questioner:
Before the end of Ramadan, I did not have money to buy Zakat al-Fitr, and then I received my salary after Ramadan. So, is it obligatory for me to pay this zakah after that for myself and my family, or is it dropped from us?
The Shaykh:
If you have a salary, you are able to pay. If it is paid to you, or if you borrow in Ramadan, you borrow from your friends and buy the charity of Fitr. And if borrowing is difficult for you, and the payment of the salary is delayed until after Ramadan, then you buy after Ramadan and pay the charity of Fitr as making up a missed act of worship; this becomes making up a missed act of worship.
