The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: When I give zakat al-fitr, I add one or two kilograms as a precaution, and I count it as voluntary charity along with the zakah. Is what I am doing prescribed?
The Shaykh:
The important thing is that you give the obligatory amount, and if you add to it, you will have additional reward. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Give it, and you must adhere to the amount so that you are certain you have given the required amount. If you add to it from your own pocket, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
