VideosQuestion
If I travel to Madeenah for I'tikaaf in Ramadan, what happens to the payment of Zakat Al-Fitr? Am I relieved of the duty of paying it since I am a traveler? Does my wife have to pay it in our country on behalf of myself and our children as well as herself? Please give supporting pieces of evidence.
Fatwa
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.
Zakat Al-Fitr is an obligation and a traveller is not exempted from paying it, and has to pay it whenever it becomes due regardless where he happens to be at the time. Therefore, you have to pay Zakat Al-Fitr in the town where you are at the time it becomes obligatory. As for your wife and children, you have to pay Zakat Al-Fitr for them in the same country where they are.
Allah Knows best.
