A young man must pay Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of himself and those he supports, if he possesses wealth exceeding his needs and the needs of his dependants for the day and night of Eid. If someone else pays it on his behalf, it is permissible, provided he is informed of this so that the intention is fulfilled.
