Chapter on Amount of Fitrah
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 25
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:» صَدَقَةُ اَلْفِطْرَةِ عَلَى كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ وَ كَبِيرٍ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ عَنْ كُلِّ مَنْ تَعُولُ يَعْنِي مَنْ تُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ صَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعٌ مِنْ زَبِيبٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي زَمَنِ عُثْمَانَ حَوَّلَهُ مُدَّيْنِ مِنْ قَمْحٍ«.
Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Fadalah, from Aban, from Salamah Abu Hafs, from Imam Ja’far عليه السلام from his father, Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: “The charity of al-Fitrah is upon every young and old, free person or slave, on behalf of everyone whom you support, meaning whom you spend upon: one sa’ of dates, or one sa’ of barley, or one sa’ of raisins. Then when it was in the time of Uthman, he changed it to two mudds (muddayn) of wheat (qamh).”
