If one embraces Islam on the last day of Ramadan, is he obligated to pay Zakat al-Fitr?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Yes, he is required to give Zakat al-Fitr, because he is one of the Muslims, due to the Prophet's ﷺ saying: "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) enjoined the payment of one Sa' of dates or one Sa' of barley as Zakat al-Fitr on every Muslim, whether male or female, young or old, free or slave."
