Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The measures used to determine the thresholds for zakah have varied. What is the standard for determining them in this time, given that we find disagreement among our contemporary scholars regarding their definition?

A: The standard in this matter is the sa' of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which is five and a third Iraqi ratls, or four full handfuls with two moderate hands, as stated by the scholars and the authorities on language. And success is from Allah.
