Chapter on One Entitled to Fitrah and the Least Amount of It That Is Given to the Poor Person
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ وَأَرَانِي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ اَلرَّجُلُ فِي بَلْدَةٍ وَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ فِي بَلْدَةٍ أُخْرَى يَحْتَاجُ أَنْ يُوَجَّهَ لَهُ فِطْرَةٌ أَمْ لاَ فَكَتَبَ» تَقْسِمُ اَلْفِطْرَةَ عَلَى مَنْ حَضَرَهَا وَلاَ تُوَجِّهْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى بَلْدَةٍ أُخْرَى وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ مُوَافِقاً«.
As for what Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar narrated from Muhammad ibn Isa, who said: Ali ibn Bilal narrated to me, and I think I had heard it from Ali ibn Bilal, who said:
I (narrator) wrote to Imam عليه السلام: “Is it permissible that a man be in one town, and a man from his brothers be in another town, needing that Fitrah be sent to him, or not?” Imam عليه السلام wrote: “Divide the Fitrah among those who are present for it, and do not send that to another town, even if you do not find one who agrees.”
