Parents are not obligated to pay al-Fitr on behalf of their married daughters because their maintenance is the responsibility of their husbands. Similarly, a brother is not obligated to pay it on behalf of his siblings who are able to provide for themselves or for whom he does not provide. It is permissible for a father or a brother to voluntarily pay it on their behalf if they grant permission.
