Why is Zakat Al Fitr $15 per person?
The amount of food one must distribute as Zakat Al Fitr is on saa’ of food. This is a unit of measurement used in the time of the Prophet (SAW). It equates to an amount of food that can be scooped up with two hands put together, four times. Therefore, when we represent this amount of food in dollars, it roughly equates to $15 CAD. Paying this amount in cash for the purpose of fulfilling one’s obligation of Zakat Al Fitr is sufficient, in shaa Allah.
