BMZK: PLEASE HOW MUCH WILL THIS BE ESTIMATED IN CASH?
DOES ANYONE HAS AN IDEA?

alkadriyar: @ op Jazakallahu khairan

talk2me006:
D cash is not advisable for zakat fitri.
but cash may be recommended for other type of zakat apart from zakatul fitir.try to use foodstuff.if u dont hav time to buy d foodstuff try to send d money to any of ur blood relative to buy it for u to include ur own.
may Allah accept our ibadah.

Browser69: Alhamdulillah!!!
For the benefit of those asking for the money equivalent;
This is what I got from my Alfa based on the food items,
Rice =#420 per person
Beans=#680 ^ ^
Garri=#220 ^ ^
This is base on current market price but it may differ in your area.
If you are a family Man, then multiply the amount by the number of ur family.
May ALLAH accept it as an act of Ibadah.{Amin}

abdul4hire: @browser 69. may Allah increase u in ur endevour and guide us all aright.

there are different forms of charity/levies in the sharia. Some are
.. the general zakat we know which is of different percentages of selected properties for a particular set of people elligible.
..this zakatul fitr which is an amount of staple food onevery head of which one is responsible of
...the general sadaqah which is not defined.i.e as u wish.

This differences is from the wisdom of Allah,because he could easily hav legislated this(zakatul fitr )as a percentage or not limiting its substance.

So except we get specific evidence from the sharia we maintain status quo..
To allay ur fears about the poor being not able to prepare,i encourage u as well as others to give upon the zakatul fitr as much money as u can give wisely. AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST. ASMLYKM
