Hadith 508
۞
Hadith.2079 - It is narrated from Safwan, from Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj, who said
"I asked Abu Al-Hasan (as) about a man who spends on another man who is not part of his household but for whom he voluntarily provides sustenance and clothing. Is Zakat al-Fitr obligatory on him for that person?"
Imam (as) replied: "No, Zakat al-Fitr is only obligatory for one’s dependents, not for such a person."
Imam (as) further said: "Dependents include children, servants, a wife, and an umm al-walad (a bondwoman who bore a child for her master)."
2079 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ مِنْ عِيَالِهِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ يَتَكَلَّفُ لَهُ نَفَقَتَهُ وَ كِسْوَتَهُ أَ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ فِطْرَتُهُ قَالَ «لاَ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ فِطْرَتُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ صَدَقَةً دُونَهُ» وَ قَالَ «اَلْعِيَالُ اَلْوَلَدُ وَ اَلْمَمْلُوكُ وَ اَلزَّوْجَةُ وَ أُمُّ اَلْوَلَدِ ».
