He says: Honorable Shaykh, these are the most prominent rulings related to zakat al-fitr. What do we take from them?
Answer:
Zakat al-fitr is obligatory for the Muslim. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made it obligatory for the Muslim, whether he is old or young. It is a purification for the body, a purification for the fasting person from idle talk and obscenity, and food for the poor on the day of 'Id, those who do not find what to eat on this day and rejoice in it with the Muslims. Work is suspended on the day of 'Id, the work of earning, so Allah the Exalted prescribed this zakat to meet their need on this day so that they may rejoice with the people and eat with the people. It is a purification for the fasting person and food for the poor. Its amount is a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) by the Prophetic sa'.
Which is four mudds (a quarter of a sa'), and in kilograms it is three kilograms, three kilograms, which is approximately three kilograms. This is the Prophetic sa', approximately three kilograms. This is the Prophetic sa'. And it is paid out from the food that is eaten in the country.
