Arabic text

1826 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: «فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، عَلَى كُلِّ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ، ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»

Commentary

The usual daily food of the inhabitants of Al-Madinah was barley and dates; that is why only these two are mentioned. One Sâ' as Sadaqatul-Fitr is paid for each member of the family. Some scholars adopted the view of paying cash equal to the value of one Sâ' of food as Sadaqatul-Fitr, but the Prophetic sayings and good practice of the Companions tell us that Sadaqatul-Fitr should be the type of usual food of the family; for example: wheat, rice, dates etc.
