ما هي أنواع الأطعمة التي تخرج منها زكاة الفطر؟

Zakat al-Fitr is to be given from any food staple consumed by people, such as rice, wheat, and others. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, enjoined it as one sa' of food. Scholars have differed in specifying the types of food, but the preponderant opinion is that theah is to be given from what the people of the land customarily consume, because the intent is to console the poor with the staple food of their own people, as mentioned by Ibn Baz, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Ibn Uthaymeen. For example, it is permissible to give rice, as it is a staple food for the people of the Two Holy Mosques and is better than barley.
