Where does the one performing 'Umrah pay his zakat al-fitr?

Question:
The questioner says: My brother and I came here to perform 'Umrah. Do we pay zakat al-fitr here, or in our home country? I have five children. When is zakat al-fitr paid, and how much is it?

Answer:
You pay zakat al-fitr on the night of the festival, whether you are here or anywhere else; you pay it on the night of the festival. When you hear the announcement of the sighting of the crescent moon for the night of the festival, you pay the fitrah. From the announcement of the sighting until you go out to pray the festival prayer, all of this is the time for paying it out. The later you pay it, the better, up until you go out to pray the festival prayer. You pay it in the country where you are. You pay the fitrah for your children along with your own fitrah. You pay the fitrah for your children along with your own fitrah, in the country where you are on the night of the festival. The amount is a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) by the Prophet's sa'. A sa' of wheat, a sa' of barley, a sa' of dates, a sa' of raisins, a sa' of dried milk, or the food that is eaten in the country: rice, sorghum, any food that is eaten in the country, you pay it out from that.
A sa' is approximately three kilograms. If you pay out three kilograms, you have paid the Prophet's sa' with caution. Yes, it is less than three kilograms, but the precaution is to make it three kilograms. Yes.
