Those to whom zakat Alfitr may be given to Ibn Alqayyim said in Zaad al-Ma‘aad 2/22: It was the teaching of the Prophet Salla Allaahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam to single out the poor for receipt of this charity; he did not share it out among the eight categories (of those who are entitled to zakaah), and he did not issue instructions to that effect, and his Companions and those who came after them did not do that either. Rather one of the two opinions in our view is that it is not permissible to give it to anyone except the poor in particular. This view is stronger than the view that it must be divided among the eight categories. Shaykh Ibn Baaz said: It is to be given to the poor and needy, because of the proven report from ibn ‘Abbaas Radiya Allaahu ‘anhu who said: The Messenger of Allaah Salla Allaahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam enjoined zakat Alfitr as a purification for the fasting person from idle and obscene talk, and to feed the poor.
