REMEMBER TO PAY YOUR FITRAH
Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Haakim have reported from Ibn Ab’bas radi Allahu anhu that Rasoolullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Sallam stipulated the Zakaat-ul-Fitr, (i.e. Fitrah) so that the fasts may be purified from shameless and vulgar words and so that the needy (Miskeen) may be fed.
Dailmi, Khateeb and Ibn Asaakir report from Anas radi Allahu anhu that Rasoolullah Sall Allahu alaihi wa Sallam said, ‘the fasts of a servant remains suspended between the skies and the earth, until he does not discharge the Sadaqa e Fitr.’
Law: For Sadaqa e Fitr to become Waajib, fasting is not conditional. If one did not fast due to some valid reason, or due to travelling, or due to an illness, or old-age or (Allah Forbid) if he left out the fast without a valid reason, then in all the said cases, the Sadaqa e Fitr is still Waajib. [Raddul Muhtar]
Law: If a person paid the Fitrah of his wife and his Baaligh children without their permission, it will be counted as being discharged, on condition that the children are from his Ay’yal. In other words, the provisions etc. of those children are his responsibility. Otherwise, it will not be regarded as discharged if he does so, on behalf of his children without their permission. If the wife paid the Fitrah of her husband without his authority, it will not be discharged. [Alamgiri vol.1 pg.193, Raddul Muhtar vol.2 pg.102/103 etc]
