- Fatwa Date:9-7-2019
As-salaam,
Is it permissible for our family (5-6members) to give our all zakat Fitr to one poor person?
All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.
It is permissible to distribute Zakat-ul-Fitr among a number of poor people, and it is permissible as well to give Zakat-ul-Fitr of many people to one poor person.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saleh Al-'Uthaymeen said in As-Sharh al-Momti': "It is permissible to distribute Zakat-ul-Fitr among a number of poor people, and it is permissible as well to give Zakat-ul-Fitr of many people to one poor person."
Allah knows best.
