What is the ruling on the fasting of a divorced woman for whom Zakat al-Fitr was not paid?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If your husband divorced you with a revocable divorce and took you back before the ' (waiting period) expired, then your al-Fitr is obligatory upon him. However, if the divorce was irrevocable, then your Fitr payment is due from the one responsible for your maintenance at the time Zakat becomes obligatory (sunset on the eve of Eid al-Fitr). Zakat al-Fitr is not forfeited by delay; rather, it remains a debt. The validity of your fasting has no connection to the payment of Zakat al-Fitr.
