About Zakat al-Fitr
Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Zakat al-Fitr obligatory — one saʿ of dates or one saʿ of barley — upon every Muslim, free or slave, male or female, young or old, and ordered that it be given before the people go out to the Eid prayer. (Bukhari 1503, Muslim 984)
A saʿ is a volume of roughly four double handfuls, which works out to about 2.2–2.8 kg depending on the staple — which is why the weight above changes with your selection. Many scholars permit paying its monetary value so that recipients can buy what they actually need; others hold that food should be given. Follow the position of your local scholars.
It is due on behalf of every person you support, and is best paid a day or two before Eid so it reaches the poor in time. Paying after the Eid prayer counts as ordinary charity, not as Zakat al-Fitr.
Weights are the figures in common use; your local mosque or relief organisation may publish a set amount for your area — that takes precedence.
