The Ruling on Giving Zakat al-Fitr to One Who Has Enough for a Year

Question:
He says: There is difficulty at the present time in finding a poor person who does not have enough for his day, because I saw in one of the associations in the city of Riyadh that most of the people who receive zakat al-fitr are people who have enough for months or a year. So is it permissible to give them zakat al-fitr, or not?

Answer:
My brothers, no one has said that the one who does not have a date (ruttu') is the one who does not have enough for his day and night. No one says that it is given to the poor person, and the poor person is the one who does not find what is sufficient for him for a year, meaning he does not find what is sufficient for him for a year. This is the poor person who is given from the charity of wealth and from the zakat of poverty. As for the one who conditions having enough for his day and night, this is the way out (makhraj), it is not the way out to it, yes.
