Discharging Sadaqatul Fitr on Behalf of One’s Wife and Baaligh Children Without Permission

Q: If a father discharges sadaqatul fitr on behalf of his wife and baaligh children without their permission, will the sadaqatul fitr be discharged?

A: He should take their permission before discharging the sadaqatul fitr. However if he did not take their permission, the sadaqatul fitr will only be discharged in the case where they are under his care.
