According to Imam Ibn Taymiyyah in Kitab Majmu’ Al Fatawa published by Pustaka Azzam Indonesia, reading the intention of zakat fitrah can be read silently. He said that the obligation to say it verbally does not have a specific history from the Prophet Muhammad.
Nevertheless, citing Ramadan and Hari Raya Worship Guidelines by M. Nielda and R. Syamsul, giving zakat through amil requires carrying out the zakat handover stage. Amil receives zakat, then Amil guides the giver to read the intention of zakat fitrah
Amil was able to end it with reciting a prayer to receive zakat. The purpose is for the worship of those who give zakat during Ramadan to be accepted by Allah SWT.
