Question:
Is zakat al-fitr paid on behalf of a non-Muslim female servant?
Answer:
No, because a Muslim is the one who has a share in the meaning of zakah, or rather, a non-Muslim does not have a share in the meaning of zakah. But if she is a Muslim, then if he wishes, he pays it on her behalf, and if he wishes, she pays it on her own. If she is hired, she pays it on her own. And if he does not pay it on her behalf with her permission, there is no harm.
