Zakat Al-Fitr is to be paid in the land where the person from whom it is due is present, whether his wealth is there or not.

Prophet Muhammad enjoined zakat al-fitr on the Muslims, one sa’ of dates or one sa’ of barley, and he commanded that it be given before the people went out to the ‘Eid prayer.

A poor person should pay the saa’ of food as zakat al-fitr on behalf of himself if it is surplus to his needs and the needs of those whom he is supporting on the day and night of ‘Eid.
