The Ruling on Giving Zakat al-Fitr to One Who Sells the Food He Is Given
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Is zakat al-fitr given to one who sells the food that is given to him, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
There is no country, whether he is poor or if he is poor he is provided for.
The questioner:
That is, zakat al-fitr, even if it is three kilograms, on the condition that he does not deserve to take it a second time. This is what they understand.
The Shaykh:
No, no, that is wrong. It is given to him as long as he has nothing that suffices him for the year, yes.
