Is Zakat al-Fitr obligatory for the husband to pay on behalf of his wife with whom he is in severe dispute?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
al-Fitr is obligatory for a person on behalf of himself and everyone whose maintenance is incumbent upon him, such as his wife. However, if her maintenance is forfeited due to insubordination (nushooz), then Zakat al-Fitr is not obligatory for him on her behalf.
