The questioner : Our Shaykh, is it established in the biography that Mu'adh distributed zakat al-fitr in one of the cities or lands...
The Shaykh : That what?
The questioner : That Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed zakat al-fitr in one of the cities or a land in the form of clothing or garments; is that established?
The Shaykh : No, I do not know this regarding zakat al-fitr; rather, it is the annual zakah.
The questioner : On wealth.
The Shaykh : Yes, perhaps you remember this.
Another questioner : Yes, the zakah on wealth.
The Shaykh : The zakah on wealth is what is in my mind, because I have become an old man, and whoever knows himself knows his Lord, as came in the hadith which has no basis!
