The Ruling on Delaying Zakat al-Fitr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who forgot to pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan?
Answer:
As you heard, he must pay it. If the day of the festival has passed and he delayed it intentionally, he has sinned; he makes it up after the day of the festival while in a state of sin. But if he forgot it or was unable to pay it, he pays it after the day of the festival and has not sinned. Yes.
