Chapter on One Entitled to Fitrah and the Least Amount of It That Is Given to the Poor Person

وَعَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْهَيْثَمِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِمَنْ تَحِلُّ اَلْفِطْرَةُ قَالَ» لِمَنْ لاَ يَجِدُ وَ مَنْ حَلَّتْ لَهُ لَمْ تَحِلَّ عَلَيْهِ« قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ عَلَى مَنْ قَبِلَ اَلزَّكَاةَ زَكَاةٌ قَالَ »أَمَّا مَنْ قَبِلَ زَكَاةَ اَلْمَالِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةَ اَلْفِطْرَةِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ لِمَا قَبِلَهُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَنْ قَبِلَ اَلْفِطْرَةَ فِطْرَةٌ«.
And from him, from al-Haytham, from Ismail ibn Sahl, from Hammad, from Hariz, from al-Fudayl, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I (narrator) asked: “For whom is the Fitrah lawful?” Imam عليه السلام said: “For one who does not find, and whoever it is lawful for, it is not lawful upon him.” He (narrator) said: “I said to Imam عليه السلام: ‘Is Zakat upon one who accepts Zakat?’” Imam عليه السلام said: “As for one who accepts the Zakat of wealth, then upon him is Zakat al-Fitrah, and it is not upon him because of what he accepted; and there is no Fitrah upon one who accepts the Fitrah.”
