Question

My husband has been at home for many years with a disease. He does not earn any big income. I work in a primary school and my family lives on my earnings. Zakat and Sadaqah Fitr are obligatory on me. Now my question is, do I have to pay Fitr in charity on behalf of my husband and children? Note that my husband and children do not have enough wealth to pay zakat or sadaqa on them. 5416315754

No, you do not have to pay Fitr for the charity of your husband and children. It is not obligatory for the wife to pay Fitr on the husband, whether it is obligatory or not. And if Fitr is obligatory on the father in charity, then the Fitra of the minor child has to be paid by the father. This responsibility does not rest on the mother of the child. It is to be noted that even if the mother is able, it is not obligatory on her to give Fitr in charity to her children. 6972916796
