The amount of the sa' in kilograms

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the sa', how many kilograms is it? One kilogram, or one and a half kilograms?

Answer:
It is three kilograms, minus a little, a small amount. Three kilograms is the precautionary measure, yes. It is better, it is recommended, as 'Umar ibn 'Abd Allah would exempt it from being carried, or by exempting it from being carried, that is better, otherwise it is not obligatory.
