Chapter: On Zakat al-Fitr
Sunan ad-Darimi 1703 — On Zakat al-Fitr
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نُعْطِي عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to give Sadaqat al-Fitr, and then as mentioned above.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 1701 to 1703)
Sadaqat al-Fitr, or Zakat al-Fitr, or Zakat al-Siyam, is the charity that is given before the Eid al-Fitr prayer on behalf of every Muslim man, woman, young, old, slave, and free person, and it is obligatory upon every Muslim. Its benefit, as explained in the Shari‘ah, is that «طُهْرَهٌ لِلصَّائِمِ طُعْمَةٌ لِلْمَسَاكِيْنَ.» it serves as expiation for any deficiencies that may have occurred in the fasting of the fasting person, and as food for the needy on the day of Eid.
