Paying Zakat al-Fitr in the form of cooked food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: Is it valid for a Muslim to pay Zakat al-Fitr if he cooks it and adds meat to it?
Answer:
What is this? It is not reported that one pays out cooked food. It is reported that a sa' of food is measured out and given to the poor. So we do not change the Sunnah by introducing things that were not known.
