Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Regarding zakat al-fitr, he appointed an agent, but the agent did not pay the zakah until after the festival prayer. Does he owe anything?
Answer:
Yes, if it is delayed until after the festival prayer, it becomes a voluntary charity among other charities, not zakat al-fitr, but rather a charity from the general charities, because the time for its payment ends when the imam goes out for the festival prayer. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
