Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the amount a person must give for himself as zakat al-fitr in rice? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
The sa' is, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us, a sa' of food, whether rice or otherwise. The amount of the sa' in the known kilogram is approximately three kilograms. Approximately three kilograms is the sa', because the intended sa' is the Prophetic sa', which is four mudds. A mudd is the amount that fills the two cupped hands of a man of average build. What fills the two cupped hands of a man of average build is called a mudd, and the amount of the Prophetic sa' is four mudds. It was recently clarified and found to be approximately three kilograms.
