Alms Tax (Zakat): Distribution of Zakat Al-Fitrah

Ruling 2023: Based on obligatory precaution, zakat al-fitrah must only be given to the poor, and this means poor Shias who satisfy the criteria mentioned previously regarding those who are entitled to receive Zakat. In the event that there are no poor Shias in one’s town, he can give it to other Muslims who are poor, but in any case, Fitrah must not be given to a Nasibi.
