The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : As for Malik (may Allah have mercy on him), he disliked a person increasing the amount of the fitrah beyond the sa' of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). His statement is correct if the person intends thereby to worship Allah.
However, if he does not intend worship and says, "I want the excess to be charity," then there is nothing wrong with it.
