Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... resolved, meaning that is a favor from Allah that He grants to whom He wills.
The student: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : ... and that means America has to fast, Jordan has to fast, Saudi Arabia has to fast. So, does the difference in the day between us and them have any effect, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : ... it has no effect; it comes after it, meaning by hours.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : ... one follows the other.
The questioner : ... yes, they share this last time with that first time.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : ... no, the merchant, I am speaking to the merchant, meaning he takes zakat al-fitr as a debt.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... yes, he does not pay its price now.
The Shaykh : ... so what is required of him?
The questioner : ... nothing is required of him.
The Shaykh : ... nothing is required of him.
The questioner : ... he distributes zakat al-fitr.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... when they confirm it, meaning if they confirm it at Dhuhr, he distributes it at Dhuhr.
The Shaykh : ... yes, indeed, you have until the time of the Eid prayer on the second day.
The questioner : ... yes, they, meaning when they confirm it at Dhuhr, they do not pray the Eid prayer.
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : ... they confirm it the next day.
The Shaykh : ... they pray, they do not pray, I do not know, but the Sunnah is like this.
The questioner : ... the Sunnah, meaning he does not pray Dhuhr, he prays the next morning.
The Shaykh : ... the important thing is he does not pray Dhuhr ... he prays Eid ... yes, the next day.
The questioner : ... the next day he prays.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If they delay confirming the Eid until the time of Dhuhr on Eid day, then the time for the Eid prayer has passed on the second day. We pray the Sunnah, we pray the Eid prayer. In this case, it is possible to delay the charity until the second day, before the Eid prayer, because the second day has taken the ruling of the first day.
