◾Important Fatwa concerning Zakāt ul fitr◾️
Answered by our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu 'Abdirrahman Yahya bin 'Ali Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him - on the 26th, Ramadhān, 1439H
📥Question:
When does the time of zakāt ul fitr begin? And when does it end? And what are the types which zakāt is given from? And is flour given, and is money given?
📤Answer:
The time for Zakāt ul fitr: It is for the breaking of Ramadhān, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made obligatory Zakāt ul fitr of Ramadhān a sā'a (four handfuls with both hands) of dates or a sā'a of barley upon the male and the female and the free and the slave and the small and the big from the Muslims, it is to be given before the eid prayer, this is what is incumbent, that it is given before the prayer, and after the prayer it is not considered zakāt ul fitr, it is considered charity from the rest of the charitable donations unaccepted as zakāt ul fitr, and some people of knowledge have delved into this issue and that it is from the means of broadening on the people and perhaps his situation is tight, and perhaps the haste of the eid prayer will cause him to forget, so there is no problem to give it on the night of eid or before that by a day.
As for giving it in the middle of Ramadhān or in the beginning, or from the last ten then it is not accepted due to the hadith:
من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو رد
"Whoever introduces into this affair of ours what is not from it will have it rejected."
And the hadith:
إن الله حد حدودا فلا تعتدوها
"Verily Allāh made limits so do not transgress them."
These are limits clarified by the Book and the Sunnah, it is not accepted from the last ten, there is no evidence for this, but (we act) according to what the evidence has come with.
So this is its time, the day of eid before the prayer, and if the affair becomes restricted as has preceded, this is its beginning time, it's end time is when the imām begins the prayer, the time has ended for giving zakāt ul fitr.
And it is better to be from barley or dates, upon what the hadith of Ibn Umar in the two Sahihs dictates, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made Zakāt ul fitr obligatory a sā'a of barley or dates, this is what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made obligatory and we advise to seek this out, and a person should not say: barley has no value, it has a great benefit, and verily some people don't know how to make it and give focus to it, coffee can be made from it, and big bread, and it has many benefits, and it's benefits have been compiled in a juz'.
Also it is allowed to give from the most popular food source of that country, and the evidence for that is the hadith of Abī Saīd Al-Khudrī may Allāh be pleased with him that he said:
كنا نخرج زكاة الفطر صاعا من تمر أو صاعا من شعير أو صاعا من طعام أو صاعا من أقط، و في رواية: صاعا من زبيب
"We used to give as zakāt ul fitr a sā'a or dates or a sā'a of barley or a sā'a of foodstuff or a sā'a of jamīd."
And in a narration a sā'a of raisins
So these things mentioned were their most popular foodstuff, either from barley, or from dates, and they used to give from the most popular of foodstuff, so whoever it is made easy for him these five mentioned with what preceded he gives, and whoever does not find except the likes of rice or what him and his children regularly consume daily he gives from it and this is a good affair and allowed.

So these things mentioned were their most popular foodstuff, either from barley, or from dates, and they used to give from the most popular of foodstuff, so whoever it is made easy for him these five mentioned with what preceded he gives, and whoever does not find except the likes of rice or what him and his children regularly consume daily he gives from it and this is a good affair and allowed.
As for money then it is not acceptable for zakāt ul fitr, they would have introduced what is not from this religion, and what is not from the legislation of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and money was present and they were in upmost need of it to buy clothes and things they need but they never used to give it out as currency of gold and silver.
And those that said it suffices do not have with them except self discretion ahead of the text, conflicting and clashing with the text, so let the Muslims fear Allāh, the zakāt collectors for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to take a young she-goat from the goats and give it to whoever was eligible for it:
والله لو منعنوني عناقا كانوا يؤدونها إلى رسول الله لقاتلتهم عليها
"Wallahi if they refrained from giving me a young she-goat that they used to give the Messenger of Allāh I would fight them for it"
This was stated by Abu Bakr - may Allāh be pleased with him -
And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited that a billy goat be given as zakāt and he prohibited that refined zakāt be taken in a house, and it is like those that posses milk, and he said:
واتق كرائم أموالهم
"And beware of (taking) the prime of their wealth."
Meaning the virtuous of the cattle is not to be taken, but verily the medium of which there is no wrong done to the poor or the wealth, all of these proofs are a refutation upon those who take zakāt (al fitr) as money, they have no evidence for that.
And we have a religious verdict by the praise of Allāh we made it from the speech of a group of imāms, we mentioned it on our website on the internet.
And this is the text of the verdict
The ruling of giving Zakāt ul fitr as money?
All praise is to Allāh and salutations upon the one whom there is no Prophet after him
As to proceed:
For indeed it has circled amongst many people giving zakāt ul fitr as money that which made people ask about that a lot and there is no source or trace of knowledge, except mere opinion which is not aided by the evidence from the Book or the Sunnah or the understanding of the righteous predecessors, so having said that giving in the form of money is not acceptable.
1407 - Yahya bin Muhammad bin As-Sakn narrated to us, he said Muhammad bin Jahdham narrated to us, he said Ismā'ēl bin Ja'far narrated to us on the authority of 'Umar bin Nāfi' on the authority of his father on the authority of Ibn 'Umar may Allāh be pleased with them both said the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made obligatory zakāt ul fitr a sā'a or dates or a sā'a of barley upon the free and the slave, and the male and the female, and the small and the big from the Muslims, and he ordered for it to be given before the going of the people to the prayer.

Seclude Yourself With The Qur’ān
Al-Hasan Al-Basrī said:
May Allāh have mercy upon a man who secludes himself with the Book of Allāh and he examines himself with it. If it (his nafs) is in accordance to it (the Book of Allāh), he praises his Rabb and he asks Him to increase his nafs in virtue. However, if he finds it (his nafs) in opposition to the Book of Allāh, he counsels himself and repents.
[Al-Bayān Wat-Tabyīn, 3/134]
Translated by Mohamed Haikal Al-Hindī

Ibnul-Qayyim said:
“When ‘Umar رضي الله عنه used to intend to do something, he was determined upon it. But when he was told that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ did not do it, he would not carry on with it (without hesitation).”

ADVICE TO CONTINUE OFFERING THE NIGHT PRAYERS BEYOND RAMAḌHĀN | by Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari -ḥafidhahullāh-
All praise be to Allāh, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allāh.
I bear witness that there is no diety worthy of worship except Allāh, alone without any partners, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger -peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him; an abundance of peace.
As you're all aware, tonight is the 29th (of Ramaḍhān), and Allāh knows best if the month will be 29 or 30 days. Nonetheless, here is a piece of advice for those who've partaken in the night prayers with us; whether they are from the sisters or the brothers; because we know that some of the blessed sisters partook on the sister's side.
So the advice is to continue offering the night prayers, because the night prayers are not limited to Ramaḍhān. Only that it is has more merit during Ramaḍhān, as the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever stands in prayer during the nights of Ramaḍhān, with faith and seeking Allāh's reward, will have his previous sins forgiven.”
And the Prophet ﷺ also said, “Whoever prays on Laylatul Qadr, with faith and seeking Allāh's reward, will have his previous sins forgiven.”
Otherwise, night prayer is legislated throughout the year. Everyone should pray however much they can - upto a maximum of 11 rak‘ahs. If a person is able to pray 11 rak'ahs, then that is the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. And if a person wants, they can pray 9 rak'ahs, or 7 rak'ahs, or 5 rak'ahs, or 3 rak'ahs, and if they can't do that, then at least one.
For indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said to Abū Hurairah, Abū Dharr and Abū Ad-Dardā' when counselling them: “perform Witr before going to bed.”
So whoever is unable to pray during the last part of the night should pray before going to sleep. After praying ‘Ishā, he should pray whatever Allāh allows him to pray.
But if one hopes to wake up during the last part of the night, then prayer during that time is witnessed (by the angels) and that is better.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever hopes to get up during the last part of the night should pray during the last part of the night, for the prayer offered in the last part of the night is witnessed and that is better.”
And the closer a person draws to Allāh, the closer Allāh is with him.
And the closeness of Allāh implies aid, preservation, protection and assistance.
Therefore, may Allāh bless you all, whatever is prescribed in Ramaḍhān there are deeds like it to be done outside of it.
Because many people assume that acts of worship are limited to Ramaḍhān. No!
Prayer is offered during Ramaḍhān, Charity is given during Ramaḍhān, ‘Umrah is performed during Ramaḍhān, a person engages in Dhikr as well as other voluntary acts during Ramaḍhān. And everything that I just mentioned is also performed outside Ramaḍhān.
(for example, the Prophet ﷺ said) “Whoever fasts Ramaḍhān and then follows it up by fasting 6 days from Shawwāl, it will be as though he fasted the entire year.”
And the same applies to what I mentioned previously concerning the recommendation of offering the night prayers, as well as being regular in offering the ḍhuḥā prayer and reciting the Qur'ān. All of that is beneficial to us.
We ask Allāh to accept from us and you all our righteous speech and actions and to forgive our shortcomings, for He is the Gaurdian and the One capable of that.
We seek Allāh's aid, and all praises belong to Allāh - Lord of the worlds.

“Islām is thicker than blood and water”
______________________
Due to the ongoing pandemics and the lockdown measures in place across many parts of the world, for many, this may be the most lonesome ‘Eid in years.
But did you know that many of our revert brothers and sisters - especially the unmarried - experience this loneliness and sadness every year?
I implore you to take a few moments to appreciate the blessing of being born into a Muslim family and extend that joy to as many reverts as possible. May Allāh soften our hearts towards them.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
((الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ، ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ))
“The merciful are shown mercy by The Most Merciful (Ar-Raḥmān). Have mercy to those on earth, and you will be shown mercy from He Who is above the heavens.”
[Reported by Tirmithi; who said, it is 'ḥassan Ṣaḥīḥ']
So a special ‘Eid Mubārak to all my revert brothers & sisters out there!
