Ali said, "What right does a child who eats food and bites from a piece have over this charity compared to a newborn who suckles milk?" These narrations, along with others that have been mentioned on this subject, imply that it was obligatory to the extent of sufficiency for a man, his family, his children, his servants, and his animals. And Allah knows best.
