RULING 2003 – AYATULLAH SYED ALI SISTANI
A person who at the time of sunset (ghurūb) on the eve of Eid al‑Fiṭr is baligh and sane, and not unconscious, poor, or a slave, must give on his behalf and on behalf of those who are dependent on him, one ṣāʿ – which is approximately three kilograms – of food per head to someone who is entitled to receive zakaat. The food that he gives must be considered to be a staple food in his town, such as wheat, barley, dates, raisins, rice, millet, or something similar, and it suffices if he gives the food’s monetary value instead. The obligatory precaution is that food that is not considered to be staple in his town must not be given as zakat even if what he gives is wheat, barley, dates, or raisins.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- These are approximate calculations, for the minimum requirement, per person.
- The more you pay, the more rewarding it is
- Choose only one of the items to pay zakat – the one you use the most.
- One Sa’ is equivalent to approximately 3kgs
- You must have the intention that the money you are giving is ‘equivalent to the particular item you are paying for’
- If you are a Syed/ Syeda you need to PAY TO SYED/SYEDA
