With the approach of the end of Ramadhaan, and in wanting to
stick closely to the Sunnah, we asked Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jabiree in November 2002 concerning Zakaat ul-Fitr.

Shaykh 'Ubayd ibn Abdillaah ibn Sulaymaan al-Jabiree was asked in November 2002
Question:
In Britain few people need Zakat ul-Fitr, is it permissible for us to send money to another country such as Morocco and the brothers there buy food?
Answer:
Laa bas, Laa bas [it is ok], give to those who require it in Britain and send the rest [to morocco].
Question:
Do we send the amount of money required to buy a Sa'a of food for the British or the amount of money required to buy a Sa'a for those in Morocco?
Answer:
For the British give them grain, or rice, or that which you have with you, send for the people of Maghrib that which suffices them.
Question:
How many days before 'Eed should we collect the money from the people?
Answer:
This returns to you, you judge in the affair so that you can send it quickly, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days so that the money may be collected.
