The Ruling on Delegating the Payment of Zakat al-Fitr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
You mentioned regarding the early payment of zakat al-fitr that one is rewarded for it if he pays it early, but it does not suffice for him.
So some of the brothers here send their zakat to outside the country,For example: in Saudi Arabia, they send it to Sudan, so does it suffice for him in this case?
If a person pays zakat al-fitr, meaning: He sends it to a person and says: Pay it on my behalf, so this person—Meaning: his agent—keeps it with him until there is one or two days left until the festival, then he pays it out, and there is no harm. May Allah reward you.
