Zakaat-ul-Fitr Estimates
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Ever-Merciful…
The Prophet (salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ordered that a fasting person give out Zakaat al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan one saa’ ( صاع ) of staple food to the poor on behalf of yourself and each person you are responsible for. [1][i]
- 1 saa’ ( صاع ) is equal to 4 mudds,
- 1 mudd ( مد ) is equal to .75 L
- 4 mudds are equal to 3 L [2][ii]
So, 1 saa’ is equal to 3 L (liters) or approximately 13 cups
| Food | Approximate Amount |
|---|---|
| Rice | 2.50 kg |
| Flour | 2.25 kg |
| Macaroni (elbow) | 1.80 kg |
| Beans | 2.70 kg |
| Lentils | 2.60 kg |
Note: The best staple food to give is the one that is most beneficial and preferable to the recipient

Ramadān: Rulings Pertaining to Fasting
Speaker : Ustādh Nasir Hameed
Ramadan 1444|2023 – prayer timetable
The Prophet, peace be upon him, and his Companions used to determine the beginning of the fasting day and its end by looking with the naked eye. It is not correct that one should overburden oneself by meticulously following timetables based upon astronomical calculations. No timetable anywhere in the world should be relied upon completely in judging the beginning of Fajr (i.e. the start of the fast) or the beginning of Maghrib (i.e. the end of the fast). One stops eating at the onset of Fajr, which is determined by looking towards the night sky – and if one sees a horizontally spreading light across the horizon and roof tops that spreads across the skyline, then he stops eating and prepares for the prayer. Also, one should hasten to break the fast once the sun has completely set and not worry about the bright redness in the horizon.
