Adding something extra to zakaat al-fitr
Question Is zakaat al-fitr limited to one saa’ for each member of my family without adding anything extra? What I mean by something extra is adding some charity so as to be on the safe side and make sure that my saa’ is sufficient, without telling the poor person to whom I give it that…
Question
Praise be to Allah.
Zakaat al-Fitr is one saa’ of wheat or dates
or rice etc., the local staple food, for one person, male ofrfemale, old or young. There is nothing wrong with giving more as zakaat al-fitr as
you have done, with the intention of giving charity, even if you do not tell the poor person about it.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
