Is Ṣadaqat al-Fiṭr obligatory on villagers?
❀ Answer
Ṣadaqat al-Fiṭr is obligatory on villagers as well.
❀ Ḥāfiẓ Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr (رحمه الله, d. 463 AH) said:
“أجمعوا أن الأعراب وأهل البادية فى زكاة الفطر كأهل الحضر سواء“
— The scholars are unanimous that in the obligation of Ṣadaqat al-Fiṭr, villagers and city-dwellers are equal.
(al-Tamhīd, 14/330)
