In the transferring of Sadaqatul-fitr which amount will be taken into consideration?

I have some queries relating to Sadaqat ul Fitr

1) If someone is transferring the amount of Sadaqat ul Fitr to his homeland for example a person living in USA transfers amount to Pakistan. Which Fitr amount should have to be paid, the one according to the Pakistani Rupee (which was Rs.100 for wheat this year) or as per the amount of Fitr in Dollars in USA converted to Rupees.

2) If the Fitr amount that needs to be paid is according to the one in USA then can you please tell me how much was the amount of Fitr in USA this year?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salฤmu โ€˜alaykum wa-rahmatullฤhi wa-barakฤtuh.

  1. Sadaqatul-fitr will be compulsory upon an individual according to the value of his country of residence. Hence if you are a resident of USA, you will discharge the Sadaqatul-fitr according to the value in USA. (1)
  2. It is advisable that you contact the local Ulama of your area in USA to find the amount of Sadaqatul-fitr due this year.

And Allah Taโ€™ฤla Knows Best
