Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Is it better for the sons to pay Zakat al-Fitr for themselves, since they are capable and have salaries, or for their father to pay it?
The Shaykh:
What is the situation?
The questioner:
Is it better for the sons to pay Zakat al-Fitr for themselves, since they are capable and have salaries, or for their father to pay it on their behalf because they live with him in the same residence?
The Shaykh:
If their father provides for them, then the alms of Fitr follows the provision; the one who provides for the household pays it for the household members. And if they pay it for themselves, there is no harm. Yes.
