If a man gives his zakat al-fitr to a man, and then that man invites him to eat from this zakat, is the one who gave the zakat permitted to eat from it?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. He asks:The questioner : If a man gives his zakat al-fitr to a man, and then that man invites him to eat from this zakat, is the one who gave the zakat permitted to eat from it?

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no harm in this. That is, if you gave zakat al-fitr to a poor person, and then the poor person invited you to his home to eat and gave you some of this zakat, there is no harm. The harm would be if, after you gave it to the poor person, you bought it back from him, for that is not permissible. Because a person buying back his own charity, whether it is zakat al-fitr, zakat on fruits, or zakat on livestock, is not lawful and is not permissible. But if he cooked food and invited you, and you ate from it, then there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
