The place to give zakat al-fitr for one who is traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And peace. And he took the land from a town.
Answer:
It is better to give it in the town where the Shawwal crescent was sighted and you are present, this is the best, because it is attached to the person. If you appoint someone to give it on your behalf in your home town, there is no harm, but the best is to give it in the town where you happen to be on the night of the festival, if there are poor people there. Yes.
