Measure of Zakat Al-Fitr
A Sa�[ One sa: 2.40kg barley] is to be paid for every individual, and it has to be from man�s food e.g. rice, dates, wheat, in accordance with the hadith of Abu Sa�eed Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: �We used to pay on the day of Fitr during the time of the Messenger of Allah a Sa� of food� and he (Abu Sa�eed) said: �And our foods were barley, raisins, (cottage) cheese[ Aqit: dried, curled milk (cottage cheese) used in cooking] and dates.� [ Source: Al Bukhari]

Sa� is estimated by Hanafis as = 3.25 kgs, and for the majority of scholars as = 2.040 kgs

It is also estimated as four handfuls of an average sized man.
