To whom is zakat al-fitr distributed?

Eid Abbasi : Regarding the recipients of this charity; to whom is it distributed, as in the previous question?

The Shaykh : It is for the poor, as stated in the previous hadith: . The term "the needy" in the language of the Shari'ah is broader than "the poor." A needy person may be a worker or a craftsman; that is, he is covered, and his livelihood comes to him day by day, month by month, but he is still needy. So this charity is given to him. And I say from another angle, if he is well-off within the limits of his family, he also pays the zakat of himself. So the one to whom it is given is the needy, let alone the poor. That is the ruling.

Eid Abbasi : You mean that what relates to the opinion of some jurists that it is distributed to the channels of zakat is incorrect?

The Shaykh : No, no. The channels of zakat are for the annual zakat. As for this, the charity of Fitr, what do we need to feed the Muslim treasury now? We have the poor and the needy who are in need of a coin. So the charity of Fitr is specifically for the needy, let alone the poor. As for those whose hearts are to be reconciled, as for the debtors, as for...; these are for the annual zakat.
Other than that?
