The Place of Paying Zakat al-Fitr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is better regarding zakat al-fitr? Should I pay it in Saudi Arabia, or should I ask my family to pay it in my home country?
Answer:
It is better to pay it in the country where you are, because it is attached to the person; it is the zakat of your person, so you pay it in the country where you are when its time comes. If you appoint someone to pay it in your home country, there is no harm in that, but it is better to pay it in the country where you are.
