Ruling On Zakaat Al-fitr And How Much Is To Be Paid? by Lukgaf(m): 6:49am On Apr 14, 2023
Praise be to Allah.

Zakat al-fitr is a compulsory charity paid by every self-supporting Muslim who possesses one saa’ or more of food for himself and his family on the day and night of Eid.

The evidence for this is the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) enjoined Zakat al-fitr, a saa' of dates or a saa' of barley, upon all the Muslims, slave and free, male and female, young and old, and he commanded that it be paid before the people went out to pray." This is agreed upon by Al-Bukhari.

It is also narrated by Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that: "We used to pay Zakat al-fitr during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a saa' of food or a saa' of dates or a saa' of barley or a saa' of raisins or a saa' of dried yoghurt." This is also agreed upon.

It is permissible to give a saa' of the local staple food such as rice etc.

A saa' is equivalent to four times the amount that can be held in the two hands of a man of average build, as specified by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Failure to pay Zakat al-fitr is a sin, and it must be made up.

As for the mentioned hadeeth, we are unsure of its authenticity.

May Allah give us strength and make our words and deeds righteous. And Allah is the source of strength.

Zakatul fitr deals with food, money is not to be given, unlike the regular zakah

It can be paid with money too.

Scholars have discussed this severally though with some differences of opinions.
