Summary
The price of zakat fitrah differs between states because rice prices differ, but the measure is the same, namely one Baghdad gantang. The method endorsed by JAKIM uses Local Super Grade A rice as the base commodity, with one Baghdad gantang equal to 2.70 kg. Each state sets its zakat fitrah price according to the current price of 2.70 kg of this rice in that state.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walau bagaimanapun, kadar sukatan bagi menentukan berat beras adalah sama iaitu satu (1) gantang Baghdad.
