The amount of food \u201cfed\u201d must be the average of what we usually feed ourselves and our families. According to Islamic law, a single \u201cfeeding\u201d must be the equivalent of at least 1.65 lbs. (750 grams) of wheat, rice or dates. However, it is permissible to pay money with the condition of delegating to the appropriate entity, trustworthy person, or the poor person themselves, as long as one feels assured that the food will be bought and offered.
