Chapter on Zakat Al-Fitrah

312. hadíth

وَ سَأَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَقْطِينٍ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ زَكَاةِ اَلْفِطْرَةِ أَ يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يُعْطَى اَلْجِيرَانُ وَ اَلظُّئُورَةُ مِمَّنْ لاَ يَعْرِفُ وَ لاَ يَنْصِبُ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ إِذَا كَانَ مُحْتَاجاً ».

Ali ibn Yaqtin asked Imam Abu Al-Hasan Al-Awwal (a.s) about Zakat al-Fitr: "Is it permissible to give it to neighbors or close acquaintances who do not share the same beliefs or who do not acknowledge (the Imamate)?" Imam (a.s) replied: "There is no harm in that if they are in need."
