Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: In our town, the Fiqh Council in that town has issued a ruling that it is permissible to pay Zakat al-Fitr in cash, according to the school of Abu Hanifah.
Answer:
No, tell him no, and no honor in that. Do not contradict the Sunnah just because of the Fiqh Council. A Fiqh Council that contradicts the Sunnah, its opinion is of no account.
