Ruling on paying zakat al-fitr in money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In our country, zakat al-fitr is paid in money on the grounds that the poor do not want grains or the like. What should we do?
Answer:
Answer: The matter is not up to the poor. This is an act of worship, and it must be carried out as it was transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The one who does not want food is not in need. Give it to the one who is in need and wants food.
