1827. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ enjoined Zakâtul-Fitr as a purification for the fasting person from idle talk and obscenities, and to feed the poor. Whoever pays it before the (Eid) prayer, it is an accepted Zakâh, and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is (ordinary) charity." (Hasan)
1827 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الصَّدَفِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ طُهْرَةً لِلصَّائِمِ مِنَ اللَّغْوِ وَالرَّفَثِ، وَطُعْمَةً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ، فَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ زَكَاةٌ مَقْبُولَةٌ، وَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ»

Paying Sadaqatul-Fitr just before the 'Eid' prayer is the last time for its payment. Paying it before the day of 'Eid' is also correct. Nâfi', may Allâh have mercy on him, said: "The noble Companions used to give Sadaqatul-Fitr one or two days prior to 'Eid.' (Sahih Al-Bukhârî: 1511) If Sadaqatul-Fitr could not be paid prior to the 'Eid' prayer then it should be paid even after the 'Eid' prayer; although it would not have the same particular reward for it, yet the reward for normal charity will be there, and thus the deprivation of reward for Sadaqatul-Fitr may be made up to a certain extent.
