Paying Zakat al-Fitr for the Son

Question
Is it permissible for a father to give Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of his children? And is it permissible for a brother to give Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of his brother?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not correct for a father to give Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of his son, but it is valid for a brother to give Zakat al-Fitr to his brother, and he will receive the reward for charity and kinship. And God knows best.
