Narrated by Ibn Umar, he said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the Zakat al-Fitr mandatory from Ramadan, upon the people a Sa' of dates, or a Sa' of barley, upon every free person, or slave, male or female among the Muslims, and he commanded that it be paid before the people go out to the prayer." (Sahih Bukhari: 1503, Sahih Muslim: 984) Translation: Hazrat Abdullah bin Umarؓ narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the Zakat al-Fitr obligatory, which is one Sa' of dates or one Sa' of barley, upon every free person, slave, male, female, young and old Muslim. And he ﷺ commanded that this (charity) be paid before the Eid prayer.
