Should I pay Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of my unemployed visiting brother, or should I give him the money so that he can pay it himself?
All of that is permissible. If you wish, you may pay Zakat al-Fitr on his behalf along with what you pay for yourself and your family. If you wish, you may give him the money he would pay for himself.
