shawl:
And in the absence of that authentic prophetic tradition that lays bare the rule, what do you do?


That is if the prophet, saw, had said "only use food".


It comes in a hadith, pray as you see me pray. He, saw, has never been seen to observe other than two or four rakats zuhr as the situation may demand.
It comes in another hadith, fasting begins upon the sighting of the moon and ends upon the sighting of the next moon but do not exceed the one month period in case you do not sight the next moon early enough.

This is one of the sign of hypocracy, the noble Prophet(saw) said " what is haram is clear and what is halal is clear and between them is a word of doubt u guys should stay out of doubt

webincomeplus:
Brother, bear in mind that there was money during the time of the Prophet. And there were companions who had problems that only money could solve, but yet, the Prophet enjoined giving out food for zakah. Lets avoid holding positions that cannot be traced to our model (the Prophet) .

Money was readily available during the time of the prophet (SAW), yet he and his companions used food, not money. They were the pioneers of this deen who understand it more than we do. This religion isn't based on human logic. Lets all stick with the sunnah.

For zakaatul maal, money is given. For zakaatul fits, food is given. Wallahu a'lam.

Jazakumllah khaira for dis.

Mushood:
Can someone or OP kindly update us abt d food items dat can be given out as zakatul fitri, thier quantity and equivalent in naira? Jazakum

Praise be to Allaah.
It was proven from the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) that he enjoined zakaat
al-fitr on the Muslims, one saa’ of
dates or one saa’ of barley, and he
commanded that it be given before
the people went out to the (Eid)
prayer. In al-Saheehayn it is narrated
that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah
be pleased with him) said: At the time
of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) we used to give
one saa’ of food, or one saa’ of dates,
or one saa’ of barley, or one saa’ of
raisins.
Some of the scholars have interpreted
“food” (ta’aam) in this hadeeth as
referring to wheat; others interpreted
it as meaning the staple food of the
country, whatever it is, whether it is
wheat, corn, pearl millet or whatever.
This is the correct view, because
zakaah is a help from the rich to the
poor, and the Muslim does not have to
help with anything other than the
staple food of his country.
Undoubtedly rice is the staple food in
the land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries
(Saudi Arabia) and it is a good and
valuable food; it is better than the
barley that is mentioned in the text.
Hence it is known that there is
nothing wrong with giving rice as
zakaat al-fitr.
What must be given is a saa’ of any
kind of staple food, i.e., a saa’ of the
Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), which is four
complete scoops as scooped up with
two hands, according to al-Qaamoos
etc. In modern weights this is
equivalent to approximately three
kilograms. If a Muslim gives a kilo of
rice or some other staple food of his
country, that is sufficient even if it is
not one of the types mentioned in the
hadeeth, according to the more
correct of the two scholarly opinions.
There is nothing wrong with giving the
equivalent amount by weight, which is
approximately three kilograms.
Zakaat al-fitr must be given on behalf
of all Muslims, young and old, male
and female, free and slave. With
regard to a foetus, it is not obligatory
to give it on his behalf according to
scholarly consensus, but it is
mustahabb, because ‘Uthmaan (may
Allaah be pleased with him) did that.
It is also obligatory to give it before
the Eid prayer, and it is not
permissible to delay it until after the
Eid prayer. There is nothing wrong
with giving it one or two days before
the Eid. Hence it is known that the
earliest time when it may be given,
according to the more correct of the
two scholarly views, is the night of
the 28th of Ramadaan, because the
month may be twenty-nine or thirty
days. The companions of the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) used
to give it one or two days before Eid.
Those to whom it must be given are
the poor and needy. It was proven that
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased
with him) said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) enjoined zakaat al-fitr
as a purification for the fasting
person from idle and obscene speech,
and to feed the poor. Whoever gives it
before the prayer, it is zakaat al-fitr,
and whoever gives it after the prayer,
it is ordinary charity. This was
narrated by Abu Dawood and classed
as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi
Dawood.
It is not permissible to pay the value
in money, according to the majority of
scholars; this view has the stronger
evidence. Rather it must be given in
the form of food, as the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) and his companions (may
Allaah be pleased with them) did. This
is also the view of the majority of the
ummah. We ask Allaah to help us and
all the Muslims to understand His
religion properly and adhere to it
steadfastly, and to guide us, for He is
the Most Generous, Most Kind.
Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz,
14/200.
This is the estimation of Shaykh Ibn
Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him)
, who reckoned the weight of zakaat
al-fitr as being approximately three
kilograms.
This was also the estimate of the
scholars of the Standing Committee
(9/371).
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah
have mercy on him) estimated it in
grams as being 2100 grams, as it
says in Fataawa al-Zakaah , p.
274-276.
This discrepancy occurred because a
saa’ is a measure of volume, not
weight.
The scholars worked it out by weight
so that it would be easier to work out.
It is well known that the weight of
grains varies; some are light and
some are heavy, and some are in
between. In fact the weight of a saa’
of the same kind of grain may vary,
and new may weigh more than old.
Hence if people err on the side of
caution and give more, that will be
better.
See al-Mughni , 4/168, where it
mentions something similar about
working out the nisaab of crops by
weight.
And Allaah knows best.

Error Five is debatable, And i will prefer to give cash than food stuff, if we are to abide y this in this present day, the needy person will eventually sell some of the food stuffs to solve his or her problem.

Also the need of the needy closer to us varies, while some are in die need of medical assistance others might need food, cloth etc.

regard this majority of the scholars prefer food items to cash

Error One: Paying at Eid Salah
Some people go to Eid prayers and drop money into the donation box thinking that they have paid their Zakat ul-Fitr.
No, Zakat al-Fitr, which is food, must be in the hands of the needy family BEFORE Eid prayer.

Error Two: Snail mailing the money overseas
Basic principle as before: the Zakat al-Fitr, food, MUST be in the hands of the needy BEFORE Eid prayer. One cannot mail the money overseas and have it arrive in hands of the needy after Eid prayer is over. However, if one is able to get the Zakah al-Fitr to the needy overseas BEFORE Eid prayer is conducted in their locality, then insha Allah it's alright.

Error Three: Not paying
Yes, as simple as this error is, it is HARAM to skip the payment of Zakat Al-Fitr if you are able.

Error Four: Confusing Zakat ul-Fitr with Zakat ul-Maal
We are talking about Zakat al-Fitr here (think "Iftar", i.e. Ramadan). Zakat Al-Maal (Maal literally means wealth), is the Zakah due on ones money - and that could be due any time during the year depending on when it was due.

Error Five: Giving money instead of food
Although some scholars have allowed giving money instead of food, the spirit of Zakat Al-Fitr is to give food to the needy of the community, NOT money. The Companion of the Prophet, Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree, radi Allahu 'anhu, said, "In the Prophet's time, we used to give it (Zakatal-Fitr) as a sa` of food, dried dates, barley, raisins or dried cheese".

Error Six: Giving one's Zakah al-Fitr to a charitable building project
Some people mistakenly give their Zakah Al-Fitr to a charitable building project: like the building of a Masjid, or Islamic school. There is a difference of opinion on this issue, but suffice it to say that the spirit of Zakah Al-Fitr is that the needy should have plentiful food on Eid.
All eight types of recipients of Zakah mentioned in the Quran are HUMANS, not "building projects".

Error Seven: Giving Zakat ul-Fitr to non-Muslims
Charity is given to both Non-Muslims and Muslims. However, Zakah al-Fitr charity is something exclusive to the MUSLIM poor and needy. Hence, one could not give Zakah Al-Fitr to any needy person on the street. "Regular" charity can be given to them, but not Zakah Al-Fitr.

Error Eight: Delaying distribution
Sometimes Masjids might collect Zakah Al-Fitr money and then put it in a bank. It doesn't reach the needy for months and months. The correct method is to give Zakah Al-Fitr immediately when it is due.
