Sadaqatul Fitr – Q & A (11/12)

· 29 Ramadan 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the position of my Sadaqatul Fitr if I handed it to an organisation that discharged it long after the prescribed time?

Answer

By giving your Sadaqatul Fitr to an organisation you have appointed them wakeel (representative) on your behalf to discharge your Fitrah. Your fitrah will only be discharged when the organisation distributes the money. Default from their side will be considered a default on your path. It is thus advisable that you query from the organisation as to when and how they discharge their funds.
