Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 3561 — Its Legislation, Ruling, and Upon Whom It
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الْفَطْرِ فَقَالَ: أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ، فَقَالَ: أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ
Abu Ammar says: I asked Sayyiduna Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) about Sadaqat al-Fitr. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to give Sadaqat al-Fitr before the obligation of Zakat was revealed. However, when Zakat (its obligation) was revealed, after that we were neither forbidden from this charity nor were we commanded anew regarding it, but we have continued to give it. Then I asked him about fasting on the day of ‘Ashura. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to fast on this day before the fasting of the month of Ramadan was made obligatory. After that, when the fasting of the month of Ramadan was made obligatory, we were neither commanded anew regarding this fast nor were we forbidden from it, but we do fast on this day.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sadaqat al-Fitr is still legislated; the obligation of zakat has not affected its obligation in any way. The fact that after the revelation of the command of zakat, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not issue a new command regarding Sadaqat al-Fitr does not make any difference.
