Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

The Sunnah is to distribute the Zakatul-Fitr among the poor People of the Land

Question:

In reference to the food for Zakatul-Fitr, is it to be distributed among the poor people of land or other than them? If we travel three days before the 'Eid what do we do regarding Zakatul-Fitr?
Answer:

The Sunnah is to distribute Zakatul-Fitr among the poor people of the land on the morning of the 'Eid day before the prayer. It is permissible to distribute it a day or two before that, starting from the 28th (Ramadhan). If someone who must pay Zakatul-Fitr, travels two days or more before the 'Eid he should give it in the Islamic, he should find some piir Muslims and give it, then its intent is to show beneficence and kindness to them (the poor) and prevent them from begging from the people during the days of the 'Eid.
