✅Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ فِي حَدِيثٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرَةِ يُعْطِيهَا رَجُلًا وَاحِداً أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ تَفَرُّقُهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ قُلْتُ أُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ الْوَاحِدَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَصْيُعٍ وَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَصْيُعٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

📚 Al-Tahdhib Vol. 4, p. 89

Ishaq ibn Mubarak said: I asked Imam al-Kazim (peace be upon him) about 'zakat al-fitr', should it be given to one person or two? He said: Dividing it is more beloved to me!

I said: Can I give one person three 'sa'' and four 'sa''? He said: Yes!

2 عَنْهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: لَا تُعْطِ أَحَداً أَقَلَّ مِنْ رَأْسٍ.

📚 Al-Istibsar Vol. 2, p. 52

Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Do not pay to one person less than one head (i.e., less than the 'zakat al-fitr' of one person)!

3 عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ عَنْ رَأْسَيْنِ وَ ثَلَاثَةٍ وَ أَرْبَعَةٍ.

📚 Al-Faqih Vol. 2, p. 178

Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: There is no problem for a person to give the 'zakat al-fitr' of two, three, or four people to one person!

4 قَالَ الصَّدُوقُ وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ وَ عَمَّنْ تَعُولُ إِلَى وَاحِدٍ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ مَا يَلْزَمُ وَاحِداً إِلَى نَفْسَيْنِ.

📚 Al-Faqih Vol. 2, p. 178

5 عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِلَالٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الطَّيِّبِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُعْطَى الْفِطْرَةُ عَنْ عِيَالِ الرَّجُلِ وَ هُمْ عَشَرَةٌ أَقَلُّ أَوْ أَكْثَرُ رَجُلًا مُحْتَاجاً مُوَافِقاً فَكَتَبَ نَعَمْ افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ

📚 Al-Faqih Vol. 2, p. 179

Ali ibn Bilal said: I wrote to Imam al-Askari (peace be upon him): Is it permissible to give the 'zakat al-fitr' from a person's dependents, who are ten people or less or more, to one deserving person?

The Imam wrote: Yes, do so!

6 عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْفِطْرَةِ يُعْطِيهَا رَجُلًا وَاحِداً مُسْلِماً قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ.

📚 Al-Kafi Vol. 4, p. 171

In a narration, Ishaq ibn Ammar asked Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) about 'zakat al-fitr' being given to one Muslim person; the Imam said: There is no problem!

✅From the above narrations, it is clear that:

1️⃣ A person can pay their own 'zakat al-fitr' and that of their dependents to one person.

2️⃣ A person can pay their own 'zakat al-fitr' and that of their dependents to several people, and according to narration 1, this is more virtuous.

3️⃣ One cannot pay a poor person less than the 'zakat al-fitr' of one person, which is one 'sa'' or its value. At least one 'sa'' or its value must be given to a poor person.
