Narrated Ibn Umar: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Zakat al-Fitr obligatory during Ramadan, which is one Sa' of dates or one Sa' of barley, for every free person or servant, male or female among the Muslims, and he commanded that it be paid before the people go out for the prayer." (Sahih Bukhari: 1503, Sahih Muslim: 984)
