Who must pay zakah al-fitr?
It is incumbent on every free Muslim who possesses enough basic foodstuffs to feed himself and his family for the duration of one day and one night. A Muslim must pay zakah al-fitr on behalf of himself, his wife, children and any dependants.
When is zakah al-fitr due?
Zakah al-fitr must be paid before the Eid prayer for it to be considered as such. If it is not paid before the Eid prayer it is considered sadaqah and not zakah al-fitr. Most scholars are of the opinion that zakah al-fitr is a debt which remains due so that even if it is not paid within time, one must still pay it.
Zakah al-fitr is typically collected during the month of Ramadan and distributed to the poor and needy a few days before and on the day of Eid.
How much is zakah al-fitr?
The Prophet (saws) prescribed the amount of zakah al-fitr as a sa'a of staple food stuffs (rice, dates etc.). A sa'a is a unit of measurement equal to 4 handfuls of an average man. As such, the exact weight differs based on the foodstuff in question.
It is permissible to pay it one or two days before that, because of the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined sadaqat al-fitr in Ramadaan." According to another report, they used to pay it one or two days before the end of Ramadaan.
Whoever delays it after its time has sinned, and he has to repent for delaying and give it to the poor.

Is the time for paying zakaat al-fitr from after the prayer until the end of that day?.
________________________________________________
The time for paying zakaat al-fitr does not begin after the Eid prayer, rather it starts after sunset on the last day of Ramadaan, which is the first night of the month of Shawwaal, and it ends with the Eid prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) commanded that it should be paid before the prayer. Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever pays it before the prayer, it is accepted zakaah (i.e., zakaat al-fitr), and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is ordinary charity." Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2/262-263, no. 1609; Ibn Maajah, 1/585, no. 1827; al-Daaraqutni, 2/138; al-Haakim, 1/409.________________________________________________
