Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, is it permissible to pay zakat al-fitr in a country other than the one in which the person fasted, or is it necessary to pay it in the same country where he fasted?
The Shaykh : Paying zakat al-fitr is done in the country where one encounters the festival. For example, if a resident of al-Madinah comes to Makkah and the festival occurs while he is there, he pays zakat al-fitr in Makkah. Yes.
