كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ( عليه السلام ) هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُخْرَجَ عَمَّا يَجِبُ فِي الْحَرْثِ مِنَ الْحِنْطَةِ وَ الشَّعِيرِ وَ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الذَّهَبِ دَرَاهِمُ بِقِيمَةِ مَا يَسْوَى أَمْ لَا يَجُوزُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُخْرَجَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَا فِيهِ فَأَجَابَ ( عليه السلام ) أَيُّمَا تَيَسَّرَ يُخْرَجُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid al Barqy who sid, ‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> the 2<sup>nd</sup>, ‘Is it allowed if one were to take out from what is Obligated regarding the farm, from the wheat and the barley, and what is Obligated upon the gold, as Dirhams, being the price of what equates to it, or is it not allowed except to take out from everything whatever it (actually) is?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> answered: ‘Whichever is easier, take out’.
