Zakat al-Fitr and the Udhiyah for Those in Non-Muslim Countries

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah preserve you. At the end of his questions, he says: If a man is in a non-Muslim country and finds no one to accept his zakat al-fitr, and neither we nor he has anyone there, what should he do? Knowing that he does not know anyone in that country.

Answer:
As for the alms given at the end of Ramadan, if there is no Muslim in the country who is eligible to receive it, he pays it in another place. He instructs someone to pay it on his behalf in another place, in his home country or in a country other than his own, and he sends it there. As for the 'Id sacrifice, likewise, he instructs someone to slaughter it in a country where it is eaten, where there are Muslims and it is consumed. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
