The Amount of Feeding a Poor Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the amount for feeding a poor person? And if I buy a quarter of a chicken with rice, does that count as feeding?

Answer:
Feeding a poor person is what satisfies his hunger. Feeding a poor person is what satisfies him for lunch or dinner if you provide him with ready-made food in an amount that satisfies him. As for if you provide him with a measured amount, feeding a poor person is half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), meaning one and a half kilograms of rice or other food.
