Is the Hadith: "The Ramadan fast is not raised [accepted] until zakat al-fitr is given" authentic, and is a fasting Muslim in need, who does not possess the nisab for zakat, obliged to pay zakat al-fitr for the validity of this Hadith or for other established legal evidences from the Sunnah?

al-Fitr is obligatory upon every Muslim who possesses more than their sustenance and the sustenance of their dependents for the day and night of Eid. Its مقدار (measure) is one Sa' of the staple food of the land. It must be made up, with sin, for whoever neglected to give it out.
