When is zakat al-fitr due for those who are delayed in confirming the festival?

The questioner : The time for zakat al-fitr is when they confirm it, meaning, once they have confirmed the midday prayer, we distribute it at midday.

The Shaykh : It is with you until the time of the festival prayer on the second day.

The questioner : They, when they confirm the midday prayer, do not perform the festival prayer.

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : The second day.

The Shaykh : Whether they perform it or not, I do not know, but the Sunnah is like this.

The questioner : The Sunnah means, if they do not perform the midday prayer, they perform it on the second day in the morning.

The Shaykh : If they do not perform the midday prayer, they perform the festival prayer at midday, yes, on the second day.

The questioner : They perform it on the second day.

The Shaykh: Yes.
If they are delayed in confirming the festival until the midday prayer of the festival, then the time for the festival prayer is on the second day. They will perform the Sunnah and perform the festival prayer. In this case, it is possible to delay the charity until the second day, before the festival prayer, because the second day takes the ruling of the first day.
