Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat)

كتاب الزكاة

Chapter 77: Sadaqat-ul-Fitr on a slave as well as on a free Muslim

صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ عَلَى الْحُرِّ وَالْمَمْلُوكِ

وَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فِي الْمَمْلُوكِينَ لِلتِّجَارَةِ يُزَكَّى فِي التِّجَارَةِ، وَيُزَكَّى فِي الْفِطْرِ.

And Az-Zuhri says that it is also compulsory on the slaves for sale; both the prescribed Zakat on wealth as well as Sadaqat-ul-Fitr are to be paid.

Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) made incumbent on every male or female, free man or slave, the payment of one Sa' of dates or barley as Sadaqat-ul-Fitr (or said Sadaqa-Ramadan)." The people then substituted half Sa' of wheat for that. Ibn `Umar used to give dates (as Sadaqat-ul-Fitr). Once there was scarcity of dates in Medina and Ibn `Umar gave barley. 'And Ibn `Umar used to give Sadaqat-ul- Fitr for every young and old person. He even used to give on behalf of my children. Ibn `Umar used to give Sadaqat-ul-Fitr to those who had been officially appointed for its collection. People used to give Sadaqat-ul-Fitr (even) a day or two before the `Id.

Chapter 78: Sadaqat-ul-Fitr is obligatory on the young and the old
