Hazrat Auf narrates that Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz wrote (a letter) to Hazrat Adi in Basra, so when it was read, I heard that it was written in it: From the people of the register, from these grants (charity, Sadaqat al-Fitr), half a dirham will be collected from each person.

Hazrat Qarah narrates that a letter from Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz was brought to us, in which it was written regarding Sadaqat al-Fitr: Sadaqat al-Fitr should be taken from every person as half a sa’ or its value as half a dirham.

Hasan says that there is nothing wrong in giving dirhams as Sadaqat al-Fitr.

Hazrat Zuhair says that I heard Hazrat Abu Ishaq saying: "I found those before me (the Companions) that they used to give the price of wheat in dirhams as Sadaqat al-Fitr."

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj states that Hazrat Ata disliked giving silver coins (dirhams) as Sadaqat al-Fitr.
