Chapter on Zakat al-Fitrah

And from him, from several of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Umar ibn Yazid, who said: I (narrator) asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about ‘a man who has a guest from among his brothers staying with him, and the day of al-Fitr arrives, does he pay al-fitrah on his behalf?’ Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes. Al-fitrah is obligatory upon everyone whom he maintains, whether male or female, young or old, free or owned.”
