Muwatta' Malik 17-62
People for Whom it is Not Obligatory to Pay the Zakat al-Fitr
مالِكٌ؛ أنَّهُ رَأى أهْلَ العِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ أنْ يُخْرِجُوا زَكاةَ -[٤٠٦]- الفِطْرِ، إذا طَلَعَ الفَجْرُ مِن يَوْمِ الفِطْرِ، قَبْلَ أنْ يَغْدُوا إلى المُصَلّى.قالَ، قالَ مالِكٌ: وذلِكَ واسِعٌ، إنْ شاءَ اللهُ، أنْ يُؤَدُّوا قَبْلَ الغُدُوِّ مِن يَوْمِ الفِطْرِ و بَعْدَهُ.
Translation
Yahya related to me that Malik had seen that the people of knowledge used to like to pay the zakat al-fitr after dawn had broken on the day of the Fitr before they went to the place of prayer. Malik said, "There is leeway in this, if Allah wills, in that it can be paid either before setting out (for the prayer) on the day of Fitr or afterwards."
