٢٠٢٨. One cannot give as fitra half a saa of one commodity (e.g. wheat) and half a saa of another commodity (e.g. barley) and if he gives these with the intentionof paying the price of fitra even then it is not sufficient (i.e. it cannot be said that the zakat of fitra has been paid properly).
٢٠٢٩. It is recommended that while giving zakat of fitr one should prefer ones indigent relatives, and then ones indigent neighbors, and then the learned personswho are indigent. However, if others enjoy superiority for some reason it is recommended that preference be given to them.

And if it has perished and the person, who took fitra knew that he had taken was fitra he should give its substitute, and if he did not know it, itis not obligatory on him to give substitute, and the man who gave Fitra should give it once again.
٢٠٣١. Fitra can be given to a person who says that he is poor. However, if the man, we has to pay fitra knows that previously he was not indigent fitra cannot begiven to him immediately on his saying that he is poor except that the man giving fitra is satisfied of the correctness of his statement.
