The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh? May you live long. Regarding the zakat al-fitr that was not paid, meaning each person and the one entrusted with it forgot. What is the obligation of its owner?
The Shaykh : The plan now. If they call out. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and the advice is like the prayer itself; he pays it out when he remembers.
