The Exemption of Zakat al-Fitr from the Incapable
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And perhaps he will follow up with the zakat of the place where he is, or if he instructs his agent to pay it in his home country, everything is permissible in zakat, if Allah wills.
The presenter:
More.
The Shaykh:
In his home country.
The questioner:
The poor person is exempted in their view; the poor person who has nothing is exempted in their view.
The Shaykh:
If he has nothing beyond the expenses of the festival, beyond the food for the festival, then fear Allah as much as you are able. Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear. He will commit a sin and be disciplined. Yes.
