Is It Permissible To Give Money As Zakatul Fitr? by Bimpe29: 8:26pm On May 08, 2021 |
بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم Question: Can you give Zakātul Fiṭr using money (instead of staple foodstuff)? Answer: This is not valid/acceptable according to most scholars (Jumhūr), and this is the correct stance in this issue, because the Sharī‘ah has prescribed food specifically, so it's not permissible to give money in its place. The Prophet ﷺ could have instructed them to give Dirhams, but instead he instructed to give food, and this was the practice during the era of the rightly guided Caliphs -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhum-, as well as the the Ṣaḥābah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhum- and all those who came after them. However, Abū Ḥanīfah disagreed. He saw it permissible to give money instead, but he has no evidence for this. So the correct stance is that it is invalid, and this is the verdict given by our contemporary scholars, such as Imām Albānī, Ibn Bāz, Al-'Uthaymīn, Al-Wādi‘ē and others, including the Lajnah Ad-Dā'imah (the permanent Committee for scholarly research and Iftā'), all of who hold it to be invalid. 8 Likes

uptimum123:No hampers is not my problem The real issue is people from a certain region like using ajinomoto ( white maggi) to cook till date, this same set of people also use sugar to cook beans. My stomach is very selective, I can't eat dirty food all in the name of festivities. Where I come from, we nor dey use shame chop poison, I would rather reject it to your face than put it in a nylon and throw it in the dustbin,then bring the flask for you smiling . 4 Likes 1 Share |

What of instance where you give someone raw food and he has no means to prepare or cook it? Wouldn’t it be better if the person got money instead to buy whatever he wants? 5 Likes |

The essence is to feed someone, isn't it? Look at the scenario of 5 people giving 3 cups of rice each to the same person, The question is what will the person cook it with? Some don't even have cooking fuel let alone pepper or meat. Is he expected to eat only rice? So what happens is the receiver eventually trades it with what he needs and unfortunately gets lesser value for it. Some give millets or maize. Do they even know the process of turning such things into food? The other scenario is 5 people giving 1k each which is 5k. By His grace, he will not only be able to feed himself but also his families with good meals and even have leftovers. Finally, I am not against giving staple food, but I will only wish our Muslim brothers don't impose their ideology on others especially when it is also being supported by at least one of our revered imam. If you want to give food then good if others preferred money even better in my opinion. Allah Knows best. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Did the prophet ask you to add money? When we start to understand the essence of things we will become more tolerant. There are a lot of things we adjusted to accommodate progression in Islam due to its importance and I can give you several examples. AbooTasleemah1: 1 Like |

AbooTasleemah1: You said " what was recommended is that you can add money to whatever you are giving out" The question here is who made the recommendation? You said the religion needs no modification whatsoever, that is true. |

AbooTasleemah1:There's argument in both preacher about it..But if I offer staple grain, it's money I used to buy it..and that's what Quran said.. instead of me to use money to buy the Staples grain..I can calculate the cost of the grain and gave the money as Zakatul-fitr.. because others peoples can bring rice,and others grain food to the same person..May Allah guide us More..Amin.. 1 Like 1 Share |

Sheuns: Brilliant question, the law state that zakat tul fitr should be done with food particularly food that's popular in that Nation. Exceptions in rulings doesn't make them law. The aim of the law is to put food on everyone's table irrespective of your financial status... Its accepted one can add money to the food presented if one is financially buoyant to do so just to ease the person burden. 1 Like |

Olaideolayemi: Exception in laws doesn't make it a law. We have two type of zakat which are zakat tul fitr (food) and zakat tul mal (money) that's the law we can't b wiser than the supernatural being who made the law. 1 Like |

Ancientx: Before now, all these ingredients and sources of fuel are not that difficult to get for the needy, and there's trade by barter. Using your scenarios, you are allowed to give different grains. It's not a must you use Rice all through. You can use different grain for each family member. E.g Husband=Rice; Wife=Wheat; Child=Dates etc. Also, have you thought of your Zakat (in cash) being used in an haram way? Yes, your intention is what Allah judges, but why risk such exposure? So, I will suggest one uses the grains as Zakat, then add cash to it (as Sadaqah) if you think the recipient might find it hard to get the ingredients. Allah knows best. |
