It is sunnah to give Zakat Al-Fitr in kind, one S’aa (approx. 2.5 kg to 3.0 kg depending upon the type of food) of rice, wheat, barley, dates etc. Since in Kuwait the staple food is rice, in some cooperative societies supermarkets, there are rice packets of approx. 2.5 kg available specially prepared for giving Zakat Al-Fitr. Otherwise, some charity organizations are also accepting cash from public (KD. 1/- per person), out of which they buy and distribute food to the poor and needy. We would like to remind our brothers and sisters that we are supposed to pay Zakat Al-Fitr to the poor and needy, for every member of the family including maids. It is preferred to pay  a few days earlier so that poor people can enjoy their Eid.
