Question:  If anyone gives Sadaqatul Fitr before or after the Eid jamah will he be discharged from wajib?

Answer:  If anyone gives Sadaqatul Fitre before or after the Eid jamah, the duty of wajib will be discharged upon receipt by the beneficiary (Al-Bahr). However, it is better not to delay than the Eidul fitr day because the main purpose of giving Sadaqah is to benefit the needy on Eid day.
