f:470 -    On whom is Sadqa Fitr Wajib
Country : India,
Name : submittername
Question:     On whom is Sadqa Fitr Wajib?
............................................................................
Answer:     As given in Fatawa A’alamgiri, Sadqa Fitr is Wajib on that person who has wealth which reaches the prescribed limits and which is beyond the basic necessities of life and that person should be free of debt.  The prescribed limit (Nisab) is the same as Zakaat, but for Sadqa Fitr, there is no condition that the wealth should be of an increasing kind (like gold, silver or commercial goods) or that 1 year should have passed on it.   (Fatawa A’alamgiri, Vol 1, Pg No: 193)

And Allah The Exalted and The Majestic knows best.
