I paid zakat al fitr a week before Eid. But I came to know that its not valid, I have to pay it again as the correct time to pay when people go for Eid Salah. My doubt is, what if I do not find any poor person to pay it at that time. To avoid risk, can I pay it when the Eid day is announced in the evening of last ramadan? Thanks. EID Mubarak in advance to you and your family.
