حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْحَذَّاءُ الْمَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الصَّائِغُ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ " يَأْمُرُ بِإِخْرَاجِ الزَّكَاةِ قَبْلَ الْغُدُوِّ لِلصَّلَاةِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَسْتَحِبُّهُ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ الرَّجُلُ صَدَقَةَ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ الْغُدُوِّ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ .

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: It is necessary to give the sadaqat al-fitr before the Eid prayer; if it is given afterwards, it will not be considered sadaqat al-fitr. And the practice of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) requires that one sa‘ (a specific measure) of sadaqat al-fitr be given from each type (of staple food).

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1610. Commentary:
➊ This charity was instituted by the command of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). This indicates its obligatory nature, as the word (fardh) has appeared in other hadiths.
➋ The due right of Sadaqat al-Fitr is that it should be given before going out for the Eid prayer.
