Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I went out to pray the Eid prayer and I had Zakat al-Fitr with me to pay it, so I gave it to a sanitation worker. Is my action correct and sufficient?
Answer:
If the sanitation worker is a Muslim and you gave him the Zakat al-Fitr, then it is sufficient, because you paid it to its rightful recipient, who is the poor Muslim.
