One who sleeps and misses giving zakat al-fitr until the 'Id prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a person slept.

The Shaykh:
He did not wake up until after the 'Id prayer.

The questioner:
And he did not pay the zakat.

The Shaykh:
Like the harvest.

The questioner:
What?

The Shaykh:
What is required of him? If he slept involuntarily and did not wake up until after the 'Id prayer, he should pay it, and if Allah wills, he is excused for the delay. The sleeper is excused regarding the prayer, yes.
