Time for Giving Zakat al-Fitr

Question
Is it permissible to give Zakat al-Fitr before the end of Ramadan?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to give Zakat al-Fitr during every Ramadan, before Ramadan, and after Ramadan; because its obligation is absolute regarding time. However, it is recommended to give it before going out for the Eid prayer, and God knows best.
