Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the Shaykh's words, what is the ruling on increasing the amount of zakat al-fitr, where they return every year with thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), thirty sa'?
Answer:
There is no harm in increasing it if you give it as a voluntary donation; that is a good thing. So if you give the obligatory amount and give voluntary charity with it, that is a good thing.
