The amount of zakat al-fitr.

The Shaykh : What is its amount? Its amount is a sa' by the sa' of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the sa' of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is four mudds. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) estimated this sa', meaning the sa' of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in terms of good, dense wheat. They estimated it by weight because measures vary, but scales are more precise, so they determined it by weight. If one exercises caution and gives it out of good, dense wheat weighing two and a half kilograms, there is no blame on him, because increasing is better. If one wishes to limit himself to the obligatory amount, we have calculated it, and it amounts to two kilograms and forty grams. I mean by this the Prophetic sa'. The matter in this is broad, meaning that if a person gives more than the obligatory amount, there is no blame on him. This is contrary to the opinion of some scholars who said that giving more than the obligatory amount is disliked because it is an increase over what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed. However, the correct view is that it is not disliked and that there is no harm in it. The fourth?
