Is it obligatory for us to pay zakat al-fitr on our own behalf if our father pays it on our behalf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : And blessings be upon him.

The questioner : I mean, if our father pays zakat al-fitr for us in our home country, do we still have to pay it here?

The Shaykh : If you are certain that he has paid it on your behalf.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Then that is sufficient. But if you are not certain, you must pay it.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.
