What is the meaning of "Aqit" mentioned in the fatwa, and are the four categories mentioned the only ones that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mandated for giving Zakat al-Fitr, or can it be given as rice or legumes? And is the المقصود (intended meaning) of a Sa' (3 kilograms) of wheat its weight before or after grinding, and the same question applies to green peas: is their net weight 3 kilograms after being shelled or as they are with their pods?

Aqt is solidified yogurt, made by cooking whey and collecting the white substance that floats to the surface. As for the types of zakat (definition) al-fitr, the preponderant opinion is that it should be given from the staple food of the people. Aqt is permissible to be given if it is among the staple food of the people. Giving flour as zakat al-fitr is a matter of dispute, and it is more cautious to give grain. If flour is given, the weight, not the volume, should be considered, so it should be given by the weight of a saa' because milling increases its volume. Onions are not acceptable for zakat al-fitr because they are not a staple food.
