#1014: Is There Problem If There Are No Means To Pay Zakaatu Al-Fitr

Mal. Please if no means of payment of zakatul fitri hope know problem?

ANSWER:

Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullah Wabarakaatuh.

The Ummah with regards to Zakaatu Al-Fitr are divided into two.

The one who has the means to feed himself and his family and has additional left, this one must give the Zakaatu Al-Fitr on behalf of himself and his family.

The one who has not sufficient enough to eat and feed his family or who has sufficient for that but has nothing left after that. Such a person, there is no blame on him due to his inability. In his case, he is entitled to receipt of someone else’s Zakaatu Al-Fitr.

This is the position of the majority of the Fuqahaa among the Ulama of Islam as was. mentioned by Ibn Al-Qaasim in his Footnotes on Ar-Rawdu Al-Murbi’.
