Deputation in Paying Zakatul Fitr (Charity at End 
of Ramadan)
Question

                Some mosques express their readiness to receive the 
equivalent cost of Zakaat-ul Fitr from people in order 
to distribute it to the needy on their behalf in the form 
of commodities such as rice, flour, etc. Is this 
practice alright?
Praise be to Allah.Since that it is intended that they would be purchasing and 
distributing those commodities to those who are in need of [the 
commodities] on their behalf, then it is alright and they will be 
getting the due reward, in shaa' Allaah.
