Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for the one who gives zakat al-fitr to inform the recipient that it is zakat al-fitr?
Answer:
He does not inform him unless he knows that the one who takes the zakat is shy about accepting it; in that case, he informs him. But if he does not know that he is shy about the zakat, he gives it to him if he is convinced in his mind that he is in need. Yes.
