Issue No. 1721- In zakāt of fiṭrah one can give money instead of the commodity. For example, he can calculate and find out how much three kilos of wheat cost and give its value to an indigent person as fiṭrah.

In other words, one should pay the amount that if the poor person wants to buy the same commodity from the market with the money which is given to him, he should be able to buy it.
