Q 2: It is the habit that my brothers give
Zakat-ul-Fitr (obligatory charity paid before the Festival of Breaking the Fast) to my mother to distribute it because they are not living in the town and are not familiar with the inhabitants.
Is this permissible? However, I distribute Zakah (obligatory charity) according to my own knowledge and when she knows, she gets angry with me. Am I to blame? Am I unjust to my mother through this behavior?
A 2:
Your brothers should pay Zakat-ul-Fitr that is due on them to the poor existent in the place in which they live at the time when Zakat-ul-Fitr becomes due. However, if no poor people exist near their location and they send the Zakat-ul-Fitr to your mother to distribute it, you should not distribute it unless you have her permission. That is because she is the agent and she should distribute Zakat-ul-Fitr in person or entrust a trustworthy person, with whom she is satisfied, whether she chooses you or anyone else.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
