Commentary
According to Imām Aḥmad, if atonement is paid in the form of wheat it will be one Mudd, and if it is in the form of dates or barley, it will be two Mudd or half a Ṣā'. In view of Imām Shafī'ī, Imām Awzā'ī and 'Aṭā there is only one Mudd to be paid from any kind of grain as atonement. In the view of Imām Mālik the amount of atonement is two Mudd from any kind of grain, and according to Imām Ath-Thawrī and Imām Abū Hanīfah, for wheat one Mudd, dates two Mudd and barley one Ṣā' is prescribed as the atonement.
