كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصِيُّ يُزَكِّي عَنِ الْيَتَامَى زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرَةِ إِذَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مَالٌ فَكَتَبَ لَا زَكَاةَ عَلَى يَتِيمٍ وَ عَنْ مَمْلُوكٍ يَمُوتُ مَوْلَاهُ وَ هُوَ عَنْهُ غَائِبٌ فِي بَلَدٍ آخَرَ وَ فِي يَدِهِ مَالٌ لِمَوْلَاهُ- وَ يَحْضُرُ الْفِطْرُ أَ يُزَكِّي عَنْ نَفْسِهِ مِنْ مَالِ مَوْلَاهُ وَ قَدْ صَارَ لِلْيَتَامَى قَالَ نَعَمْ[1].

13. Muhammad ibn al-Husayn has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Qasim ibn al-Fudayl al-Basriy who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), and asked if the executor of the will is required to pay al-Fitrah for the orphans if they have any assets. He (the Imam) wrote, ‘There is no al-Fitrah on orphans.’ I asked if a slave whose master dies who is in another location, and there is a certain amount of assets of his master in his hand; when the time for paying al-Fitrah comes: if he can pay for himself from the assets of his master, which has become assets of the orphans. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he pays al-Fitrah for himself.’”
