Determining the Weight of the Sa' of Barley
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From what we know, may Allah have mercy on him, the weight of the sa' of barley differs from the weight of the sa' of fruit and from the sa' of water. So how do we determine the weight of anything other than barley, especially since we need to do so because some types of grain differ from others in this regard? I conclude by clarifying this due to its importance, may Allah have mercy on him.
Answer:
Yes, it is estimated by the medium, not by the heavy or the light. It is estimated by the medium grain, the medium barley grain that is neither heavy nor light.
