Those who said: Sadaqat al-Fitr is a sa of barley, dates or wheat

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed Sadaqat al-Fitr on every free person and slave, young and old: one sa' of dates or one sa' of barley.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, we do not pay Sadaqat al-Fitr except as much as we used to pay in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and that is one sa' of dates, or one sa' of barley, or one sa' of raisins, or one sa' of cheese (aqit).

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I would love that whoever Allah Almighty has granted abundance should pay a complete sa' of wheat as Sadaqat al-Fitr on behalf of every person.

Abu al-Aliyah said: Every person shall pay a complete sa' of wheat as Sadaqat al-Fitr.

Abu Ishaq said: I heard Masruq say: Sadaqat al-Fitr is one sa' (per person).

Abu Ishaq said: I heard Abu Abd al-Rahman say: Sadaqat al-Fitr of one sa' (per person) is obligatory on every young and old person.

Abu Ishaq said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to us, and in it the verse "Evil is the name of disobedience after faith" [Al-Hujurat: 11] was written, and it was also written that Sadaqat al-Fitr is one sa' (per person).

Abu Qilabah said: Sadaqat al-Fitr is due for every young and old person, every free person and slave, and every man and woman. They indeed used to pay it, to the point that they would even pay Sadaqat al-Fitr on behalf of the unborn child in the womb.

Al-Sha'bi, Abu al-Aliyah and Ibn Sirin said: Sadaqat al-Fitr is due for every young and old person, every free person and slave, every one present and absent, every man and woman, and every poor and rich person.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sadaqat al-Fitr is due from those who are able to fast.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sadaqat al-Fitr is due on behalf of every person whose maintenance is your responsibility.

Abu Mijlaz said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to like that dates be given in Sadaqat al-Fitr.

Ibn Sirin said: Sadaqat al-Fitr can be paid with wheat, barley, dates, raisins and sult (hull-less barley). He was doubtful about flour and sawiq (parched barley meal). And he said: All of these are equal. (One may pay Sadaqat al-Fitr with whichever of them one wishes.)
