Questions and Answers

Every year my father pays Sadaqatul Fitr on Eid day on behalf of myself, my wife and my son. Is this okay?  Someone told me that I should pay from my own pocket because I am earning. Could you please clarify?

It is true that you should pay the Sadaqatul Fitr yourself.  However, if you requested your father to pay or your father informed you that he will pay and you consented, then that will suffice.
