Distributing Zakat-ul-Fitr

Question

As-salaam,
Is it permissible for our family (5-6members) to give our all zakat Fitr to one poor person?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and messenger.

It is permissible to distribute Zakat-ul-Fitr among a number of poor people, and it is permissible as well to give Zakat-ul-Fitr of many people to one poor person.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saleh Al-'Uthaymeen  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said in As-Sharh al-Momti': "It is permissible to distribute Zakat-ul-Fitr among a number of poor people, and it is permissible as well to give Zakat-ul-Fitr of many people to one poor person."

Allah knows best.
