The questioner :
I mean, what is the view of some jurists that it is distributed to the channels of zakah?
The Shaykh :
No, no, this is not applicable. These are channels for zakah that are distributed, but this is zakat al-fitr. What do we need now?
We feed from the Muslim treasury, and we have poor people and needy people who need a coin, so zakat al-fitr is specifically for the poor.
In addition to the poor, as for those whose hearts are to be reconciled, as for the fighters, as for these others, they have from the annual zakah something else.
