Can Zakatul Fitri Be given Out in form of Money?

Answered by Sheikh Fawzan [Hafizorhullahi]

Question: In Our Country Zakatul Fitri is given out in form of Money based on Argument that the poor don’t want Food grains, or Cereal, What should we do?

Sheikh;

The Affair Is not for the poor to decide, this is an act of worship.

You should Implement what has been Narrated from the Messenger.

The person who does not want food is not Needy

Give it to those who would Accept Food, the Needy
