Frequently Asked Questions
What is one Saa' in modern kilogram weight?
A Saa' is a traditional volumetric measure equal to four handfuls (Mudd). Depending on grain density, one Saa' of rice weighs approx 2.5 to 3.0 kg, wheat flour approx 2.5 kg, and dates approx 2.0 to 2.2 kg.
Can Zakat al-Fitr be paid in cash instead of food?
While the classical majority view prescribes food grains, the Hanafi school, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, and contemporary fatwa councils permit paying the cash equivalent if it is more beneficial and practical for the poor.
