And she continued: As for the time it is obligatory; The Shafi’is and the Hanbalis – one of the two famous sayings of the Maliki – went on to say that zakat al -Fitr is required at sunset the last day of Ramadan, and the other saying to the Malikis is that it is obligatory at the dawn of the day of Eid, see: the adequacy of the divine student with the footnote to Al -Adawi 1/452, the Mughni al -Muhtaj 1/401, and the scout of the mask 2/251.
She added: The audience went to the permissibility of taking it out to sunset on the day of Eid, and it is Sunnah not to be late for the Eid prayer, and it is forbidden for them to delay it from the day of Eid – which ends with the sunset of its sun – without an excuse, and does not fall with this delay, but rather it must be spent.
