Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Here, Honorable Shaykh, is it not possible to estimate the issue as a quarter of a sa' or half a sa'? I say that you mentioned a moment ago that it is half a sa', and some said it is a quarter of a sa' in the evening when it is distributed to the poor to eat from it. How can it be estimated that she gives it in that amount and it is sufficient, if Allah wills?
Answer:
Yes, because if he satisfies the poor person, the intended goal is to satisfy the poor person. Yes. So if he satisfies him, the intended goal is achieved. Yes.
