If a Muslim woman makes her own living and provides for herself, then she should offer zakah al-fitr for herself (as she has no one to financially support her). If she is a widow and has children, then zakah al-fitr for her and her children should be taken out of their shares in the husband&#8217;s inheritance. If there was no inheritance and she works and provides for her children, then she should offer zakah al-fitr for herself and her children as long as the amount (of one saa\u2019) exceeds her own needs and that of her dependants for the day and night of the eid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\"><br \/>Ref.
