Can we give zakaat al-fitr to our government due to coronavirus?

Zakaat al-fitr is a worship related to the Eid al-Fitr. It can be given three days before or a week before the eid. Some Hanafi jurists have said that it can be given at the beginning of the month of Ramadan for reasons of need. We advise you to give your zakaat al-fitr at the beginning of Ramadan, not before the month of Ramadan, due to such a need.
