Question:
My brother Ahmad, who called from Riyadh a moment ago, his question has become clear. He says: “Zakat al-fitr, O Shaykh, is it permissible to pay it from the beginning of the month?”
Answer:
No, it is not paid except one or two days before the festival, and it is not paid from the beginning of the month, because its time has not yet arrived. Yes.
