أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ اَلْوَصِيُّ يُزَكِّي زَكَاةَ اَلْفِطْرَةِ عَنِ اَلْيَتَامَى إِذَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مَالٌ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ» لاَ زَكَاةَ عَلَى يَتِيمٍ«.
Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn, from Muhammad ibn al-Qasim ibn al-Fudayl, from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I (narrator) wrote to Imam عليه السلام: “Does the executor pay zakat al-fitrah on behalf of the orphans if they have wealth?” So the Imam عليه السلام, peace be upon him, wrote: “There is no zakat upon an orphan.”
