The ruling on giving zakat al-fitr as ground wheat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: It is reported in the hadiths that zakat al-fitr is a sa' of food or half a sa' of wheat? Does ground wheat count as food, such that a full sa' is given from it, or does it remain on the original ruling?
Answer:
My brother, the correct view, and the one held by the majority, is that the fitr is a sa' of all types, whether wheat or otherwise. This is the correct view among the scholars' statements. So a full sa' is given, whether from wheat or from something else, and whether it is given as grain or ground, there is no harm in that, if Allah wills. Yes.
