The ruling on paying zakat al-fitr in cash

The questioner : Shaykh, I would like to ask about, well, the zakat al-fitr. Yes, I have the burden of, of course, more than one family, meaning from my relatives. And I told each one of them, "I will give you about a dinar," so they said to me, "There is no harm in you buying it for us." Now, Shaykh, I have, for example, extra sugar and rice in the house beyond what I need to give from my own home. Can I give them from my stock, Shaykh? Of course, at the current market price. Of course, the default is, for example, the weight, but regarding their calculation, Shaykh, for example, the value of the dinar comes out to three and a half kilograms. Is it okay if I give that from my stock? Look.

The Shaykh : It is permissible, but buy it from elsewhere. Now.

The questioner : Buy it from elsewhere, meaning I buy it from the market? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : It is your choice.

The questioner : A dinar, and a lot of dinars, or just a dinar? How? A dinar, you were receiving a dinar.

The Shaykh : Of course, but it is better to be generous.

The questioner : We tell the people. Hello, Abu Anas, and peace be upon you. How

The Shaykh : How are you? Praise be to Allah.
