Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, I say, if someone were to say that the sa' of water differs from the sa' of grain in measurement, O Shaykh, in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ...?
The Shaykh : The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) transmitted it to weight. They said it was converted to weight in order to ensure precision, otherwise the original standard is by volume, not by weight. But they standardized this, standardizing it with well-settled wheat, in a way that does not vary.
