Question
Is Zakat al-Fitr obligatory for a Muslim if they do not have it available, and is it permissible to borrow money in order to pay it?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The Zakat al-Fitr is obligatory for whoever possesses the nisab that excludes them from zakat, which is the value of 100 grams of gold, in addition to their essential needs. Whoever is in this situation will have the required amount, and God knows best.
