Zakāt al-fiṭr

زكاة الفطر

The Zakāt al-Fiṭr card from the library, with the arithmetic done for you. Nothing you enter leaves this phone.

Scholarly review: pending

This text comes from the Sabīl print library. Its scholarly review is still in progress; every item will carry its reviewers’ names and the date once two scholars have signed it.

Step 1 · The staple and its price

One ṣā‘ of the staple food of the land — dates, barley, raisins, rice or wheat.

≈ 2.04 kg wheat · ≈ 2.4 kg rice

Enter today’s price per kilogram from a shop. Sabīl does not fetch prices, so nothing about you is sent anywhere.

Ḥ permits its value in money, and this is the practice of most institutions today. M, S and Ḥb require food, as the text specifies it.
