What is the ruling on giving zakat al-fitr to charitable organizations?

The Shaykh : Similarly, it was not part of the Sunnah of the early period to collect the charity of fitr; rather, every person of legal age was to give it out himself. Giving this zakat al-fitr to charitable organizations today also depends on an important matter. I do not know if these organizations pay attention to implementing it. We all know that it is not permissible to give out zakat al-fitr more than two or three days before the day of Eid. Giving it out at the beginning of Ramadan or in the middle of Ramadan, as many individuals do, is contrary to the Sunnah. If the organizations mentioned take this aspect into account and collect this zakat al-fitr but do not distribute it until before the Eid, then there is no harm in appointing these organizations as agents for this charity, on the basis that it is assumed they are more knowledgeable than the one paying the zakat about the poor and needy in that neighborhood. However, I fear that these people may adopt a view that broadens the permissibility by giving out the zakat many days before the Eid. This is from one angle. From another angle, they may collect it in the organization's fund and add it to the principal of the zakat they have accumulated, and then distribute it, perhaps days after the Eid, or perhaps months later. Therefore, the most cautious course is for the one paying the zakat al-fitr to give it out himself. First, he should give it out immediately before the Eid, and this is the best. If he takes a dispensation, he should do so one or two days before that. Then he should place it in the hands of someone he considers to be among those entitled to this zakat. He should also ensure that they are righteous, and I do not know if the organizations have the capacity to observe and implement this aspect. This way, the one paying the zakat supports the people of good and righteousness with the good and money he provides to them.
