ANSWER:

If you trust this organization that they would give staple food to the poor then no problem in giving it to them before 27th, but it must be instructed to them to give it after 27th and before your eid salah.

We live in america. A known organization collects zakatul fitr money online for food then to be given to those who need it. my question is it valid if I give the money online before the 27th, 28th of ramadan, or should the money itself used to buy the food be given online after the 27th, 28 of ramadan be valid?

I had invested 8000 dhs in a company that paid me profit for a year. For the past one year I havent received any returns and the company came out to be a ponzi company that operated on bitcoin and the owner is in police custody with no guarantee of any returns. They havent paid any of the investors. Do i have to calculate zakat on this 8000 dhs. Kindly reply.
