The insane, the fetus, deadlines and transfer

This third part of the rules of zakat al-fitr brings together 8 sheets of the legal encyclopedia. It addresses the zakat owed for the insane person and for the fetus, the time at which the zakat becomes obligatory, the permissibility of paying it before that time or delaying it after it, the place of payment when the payer and the person on whose behalf it is paid reside in different towns, and finally the transfer of zakat al-fitr to another country while entitled recipients live in the country of obligation. Each question sets out the opinions of the schools and their evidence drawn from the Quran, the Sunna and legal reasoning.
