The Ruling on Giving Zakat al-Fitr to a Christian

Question
What is the ruling on giving Zakat al-Fitr to a Christian, and if it is given to a Christian, what should be done? Should it be given again?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: All forms of charity can be given to Muslims and Christians except for the obligatory zakat, and God knows best.
