Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The fatwa (scholarly legal ruling) states that rice is given as zakat al-fitr. Is what is called pasta given as zakat al-fitr?
Answer:
No, pasta is not food. Pasta is one of the delicacies that people eat for pleasure; it is not food, and people do not rely on it alone. It does not suffice in place of rice, wheat, or… it does not suffice. Yes.
