Hadith.2073 - Muhammad ibn Al-Qasim ibn Al-Fudhayl wrote to Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha (as), asking:
"A slave’s master dies while the slave is away in another town, and the slave has money belonging to his deceased master. When Eid al-Fitr arrives, should the slave pay Zakat al-Fitr for himself from the money of his master, which has now passed to the orphans?"
Imam (as) replied: "Yes."
2073 - وَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَمْلُوكِ يَمُوتُ عَنْهُ مَوْلاَهُ وَ هُوَ عَنْهُ غَائِبٌ فِي بَلْدَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ فِي يَدِهِ مَالٌ لِمَوْلاَهُ وَ يَحْضُرُ اَلْفِطْرُ أَ يُزَكِّي عَنْ نَفْسِهِ مِنْ مَالِ مَوْلاَهُ وَ قَدْ صَارَ لِلْيَتَامَى فَقَالَ
