Addendum: If zakat al-fitr is related to the person and zakah is related to wealth, why is it not obligatory upon the disbeliever?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : One of the conditions for righteous deeds is that they be from a Muslim.
And what prevents their expenditures from being accepted from them but that they have disbelieved in Allah وَما مَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقاتُهُمْ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ
[At-Tawbah 9:54]
And in the hadith of Mu'adh,
If they respond to you with that إن هم أجابوك لذلك
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:547
after the two testimonies and after the prayer,
then teach them that Allah has فأعلمهم أن الله افترض عليهم
Sahih al-Bukhari 1395

The questioner : So, it is not related to the person...

The Shaykh : No, it is a fundamental condition regarding the one who pays zakah; it is necessary, it is necessary that he be a Muslim, yes. And it is related to the person, there is no doubt about that. For example, if a person destroys his wealth after the lunar year of possession has completed, we do not say the wealth was destroyed and there is nothing on you, but you owe the zakah, yes?
