Answer
If you are an adult(attained puberty), then it is your responsibility to discharge your Zakat. Your father may discharge your Zakat with your consent.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
