al-Fitr is obligatory upon every Muslim who possesses wealth exceeding his and his family's sustenance for the day and night of Eid. He must pay it on behalf of himself and those whose maintenance is his responsibility. If the one paying the zakat only has a debt (as his wealth), it is permissible for him to pay Zakat al-Fitr from it; in fact, it is obligatory upon him if the aforementioned condition is met.
