I came across this and found it worth steeming.
Ibn Baaz said:
Zakaah al-Fitr is mandatory upon every Muslim, young or old, male or female, free or enslaved
(al-Fataawaa 14/197).
Ibn Baaz said:
A Saa’ (four handfuls) of food, dates, barely, raisins, and cheese; and according to the most correct opinion of the scholars, what is also included with these types is anything that the people nourish themselves with in their countries like rice, maze, millet and anything similar to these.
Ibn Baaz said:
What is mandatory for this is one Saa’ from the food of the country and its measurement is with Kilos—approximately three Kilos
(al-Fataawaa 14-203).
Ibn Baaz said:
It is given on the days of the 28th, 29th, and 30th as well as the night of ‘Eed. It is also given in the morning of ‘Eed before the Prayer
(al-Fataawaa 14/32-33).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
To show gratitude for the blessings of Allaah upon the servant regarding the breaking of the fast of Ramadaan and its completion
(al-Fataawaa 18/257).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is not to be given except to the poor
(al-Fataawaa 18/259).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is permissible for a person to authorize his children to give Zakaah al-Fitr on his behalf at its time even if he is in another country at the time for work
(al-Fataawaa 18/262).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is permissible
(al-Fataawaa 18/268).
We do not know of any specific Du’aa (Supplication) that is said at the time of giving it
(al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah 9/387).
Ibn Baaz said:
It is not permissible to give its worth (with cash) according to the opinion of many scholars due to its opposition to the direct statement of the Prophet— ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ —and his companions— ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﻢ
(al-Fataawaa 14/32).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
Giving it in cash will not suffice, because it has been prescribed to be given in food
(al-Fataawaa 18/265).
Ibn Baaz said:
The Sunnah is to distribute it amongst the poor in the country of the one giving it and to not give it in cash in a different country so that he can enrich the poor from his country and satisfy their need
(al-Fataawaa 14/213).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
Zakaah al-Fitr is dispensed in the land that you are in upon breaking the fast [of Ramadaan] even if it is far from your country.
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is not given on the fetus’s behalf due to it being obligatory; rather it is given because it is highly recommended
(al-Fataawa 18/263).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
It is not permissible to give it to other than the poor from the Muslims
(al-Fataawaa 18/285).
It is permissible to give the Zakaah al-Fitr for a single person to an individual just as it permissible to distribute it amongst a number of people
(al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah 9/377).
If the one who took it was deserving of it, it is permissible for him to sell it upon receiving it
(al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah 9/380).
Ibn ‘Uthaymiin said:
Delaying it until after the Salaah is Haraam (impermissible) and it will not suffice
(al-Fataawaa 18/266).
