Fatwas

How does a person who lives abroad give sadaqah al-fitr; does s/he abide by the conditions of his/her residence country or that of their country of origin?

Because life standards change from country to country, one should give sadaqah al-fitr in the amount calculated in his/her residential country or region (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, III, 319-322).

However even if a person lives abroad but goes to another country at the time of the payment of sadaqah al-fitr, s/he pays it according to the conditions of the latter country.
