Giving the obligatory Zakat al-Fitr of one person to a group of needy people

Question
Is it permissible to give the obligatory Zakat al-Fitr of one person to a group of needy people?
Answer
Yes, it is permissible; because the condition is the ownership for the poor, and it has been achieved whether it is one or more. Likewise, what is obligatory can be given by a group to one needy person; because the obligation is zakat, so it is permissible to collect it and distribute it: like the zakat of wealth. See: Bada'i al-Sana'i 2: 74-75.
