Question:
He says: What is the ruling on increasing the sa' in zakat al-fitr for the family members? Is it necessary to give only the amount for the number of family members, and is it not permissible to increase beyond that, or is it?
Answer:
It is obligatory to give a sa' for each person; this is an obligation that must be fulfilled, and it is three kilograms for each person. As for increasing it, there is nothing wrong with it. If one increases beyond the sa' for each person, that is an increase of good and charity. Yes.
