Zakaat Al-fitr Is Food, Not Money, And It Is To Be Given To Needy Muslims Only by Lukgaf(m): 5:38am On Apr 29, 2022
Can someone use the money to pay Zakatul-fitr?

Praise be to Allah.

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made giving a saa’ of dates or a saa’ of barley as Zakaat al-Fitr an obligation for all Muslims, slave and free, male and female, young and old, and ordered that it should be given before the people went out to pray (Salaat al-Eid).”

(Al-Bukhaari, 1503).
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “We used to pay as Zakaat al-Fitr a saa’ of food or a saa’ of barley (which was their food at that time) or a saa’ or dates or a saa’ of aqit (dried yoghurt) or a saa’ of raisins.” (1506)

From this it is clear that Zakaat al-Fitr must be food, not money, so we must adhere to what has been recorded in the Sunnah. So give one saa’ of whatever is the staple food in your country, such as rice or wheat, for example, on behalf of yourself and each member of your household. (A saa’ is equivalent to approximately 3 kilograms). It is not permissible to give it to anyone except a needy Muslim. If you cannot find anyone in your own country, you can delegate someone else to give it on your behalf in another country. May Allaah help us and you to do the duties that He loves. And Allaah knows best.

It makes no sense . People have different needs .of what use is rice to someone who needs maize ? Islam is a religion of ease . You give money to the person and he buys whatever he wants to buy with it .

Jazakumullah Khairan for this beautiful reminder and information as always.

To the non-Muslims who are genuinely interested in the religion of Islam from the depths of your heart, you are welcome and may God guide you, amen.

However, to the non-Muslims seeking to cause discord, annoyance and anger among we Muslims...DON'T BOTHER. You would continue to shout in pains and delusion. And we as Muslims will continue to say...SALAAM to you.

We, Muslims don't argue with ignorance.

For the record, 'ALMIGHTY ALLAH (SWT) MEANS GOD'.

I come in peace ✌

Yes food is the best thing to use for zakatul-fitr but some scholars said if the person already have more than enough food and they don’t have more prepare it ( maybe too much rice, beans or corn) then you can convert your own zakatul - fitr to money equivalent to food. So as to have money to buy other things for the preparation of the food.

to be serious with you, you’re not good Muslim. We don’t respond to everybody and if you wanted to do, no matter how it sounds you responded in educational way. Religion is to educate ourselves, to explain what we don’t know. The way we take this religion is killing this world please Christens and Muslim
