Chapter on Zakat al-Fitrah

Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad, from al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: “Sadaqat al-fitrah is upon every head from your household, the young and the old, the free and the owned, the rich and the poor; on behalf of every person, half a sa’ of wheat or barley, or one sa’ of dates or raisins, for the poor of the Muslims.” And Imam عليه السلام said: “Dates are the most beloved of that to me.”
