Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner is from al-Hudaydah, Yemen, and she says: For several years, I have not paid zakat al-fitr for myself and my children. I am a woman who does not know for whom to pay this zakat, nor how, nor how much it is. What is required of me now?
Answer:
Zakah remains a debt in the liability of the one upon whom it is obligatory. If he does not pay it at its proper time, it remains a debt in his liability, and he pays it as a make-up. It is obligatory for you to pay the alms of fitr as a make-up for yourself and your children. Yes.
