Is Tamleek necessary for Sadaqatul Fitr

Q: Is Tamleek (unfettered ownership) a requirement for Sadaqatul Fitr? We plan to use the collected Sadaqatul Fitr funds to prepare a meal and serve it on Eid morning. Will sadaqatul Fitr be discharged in this way?

A: ‘Tamleek’ is a requirement for the proper discharge of Sadaqatul Fitr. Therefore, simply preparing a meal and serving it to a recipient/s does not fulfill the obligation. Consequently, Sadaqatul Fitr will not be considered discharged in such a case. However, if the food is given to a recipient/s packed in containers, in a manner that he takes full possession of the item, then this will fulfill the requirement of Tamleek, and the obligation shall be discharged.

And Allah Knows Best
