Zakaat ul-Fitr - East London

[al-athariyyah.com]

With the approach of the end of Ramadaan, and in wanting to stick closely to the Sunnah, we asked Shaikh 'Ubaid al-Jabiree in November 2002 concerning Zakaat ul-Fitr.

Shaykh 'Ubaid ibn Abdillaah ibn Sulaimaan al-Jabiree was asked in November 2002 Question: In Britain few people need Zakaat ul-Fitr, is it permissible for us to send money to another country such as Morocco and the brothers there buy food? Answer: Laa bas, Laa bas [it is ok], give to those who require it in Britain and send the rest [to morocco]. Question: Do we send the amount of money required to buy a Sa'a of food for the British or the amount of money required to buy a Sa'a for those in Morocco? Answer: For the British give them grain, or rice, or that which you have with you, send for the people of Maghrib that which suffices them. Question: How many days before 'Eid should we collect the money from the people? Answer: This returns to you, you judge in the affair so that you can send it quickly, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days so that the money may be collected.

We will be collecting Zakaat ul-Fitr, Zakaat and Sadaqah.
