Sahih Muslim 984c — Sadaqa of Ramadan and Wheat Measure

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 984c

This Hadith calls Zakat-ul-Fitr the Sadaqa of Ramadan. Ibn Umar reports that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم prescribed it for the free person and slave, male and female, as one sa' of dates or one sa' of barley. The narration then says that people equalised that with half a sa' of wheat. The core topic is Zakat-ul-Fitr amount and later wheat equivalence mentioned in the text. The Hadith clearly separates what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم prescribed from what people later equalised. That distinction matters, because the explanation should not mix the two statements. For search use, this Hadith matches phrases like Sadaqa of Ramadan hadith, half sa wheat, and Sahih Muslim 984c.
