[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , commanded the giving of Zakat al-Fitr on behalf of every free Muslim, young or old, man or woman, by giving a saa' (measurement unit) of barley or a saa' of dates. The people were to bring it to him in the form of wheat debt or the equivalent.
أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ عَنْ كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَعَدَّ لَهُ النَّاسُ بِمُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ وَكَذَلِكَ
