Chapters on Zakat al-Fitr in Ramadan
(108) بَابُ ذِكْرِ فَرْضِ زَكَاةِ الْفِطْرِ وَالْبَيَانُ عَلَى أَنَّ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ عَلَى مَنْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاتُهُ، ضِدُّ قَوْلِ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ غَيْرُ فَرِيضَةٍ
108 Subchapter: Obligation of zakat al-fitr and that it is obligatory, not just recommended
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2393 — 108 Subchapter: Obligation of zakat al-fitr
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ " ، فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُخْرِجُ عَنِ الصَّغِيرِ ، وَالْكَبِيرِ ، وَالْمَمْلُوكِ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَأَعْوَزَهُ مَرَّةً ، فَاسْتَلَفَ شَعِيرًا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ زَمَانُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَدَلَ النَّاسُ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) made obligatory the Sadaqat al-Fitr of one sa’ of dates or one sa’ of barley. Accordingly, Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give one sa’ of dates as Sadaqat al-Fitr on behalf of every young and old member of his household and his slaves, except for one year when dates were not available, so he gave barley on loan and paid it. Then, when the era of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came, people started giving half a sa’ (two mudd) of wheat in place of one sa’ of barley.
