Zakat Al-Fitr On Behalf Of Dependants
Am I obliged to pay zakat al-fitr on behalf of my dependants?
One is only obligated to pay zakat al-fitr for oneself, not on behalf of those dependents one is obligated to support, though if the dependent exceeds the nisab qualification and is unable to pay zakat al-fitr (e.g. a child, an insane or incapacitated person), one should pay from their wealth on their behalf.
