Cupa, Weighing-Machine Zakat Which is Antique
Reporter T. Wijaya

(Guest speaker Yudhy Syarofie): This object circle public Palembang known as Cupa. Cupa used as measure. One Cupa equal to 2,5 kilograms.
In consequence in Zakat (religious obligatory order) Fitra (holy), rice given to pauper 2,5 kilograms, hence this Cupa as a means of its measure.
Its making (material) log (Meranti) directly is dredged in it.
Seen its making number the year 1774, hence can be estimated this Cupa made during middle Agung mosque built or possibility completed is built.
Can be estimated public Palembang executes foundation of Islam, namely pays for religious obligatory.
Is that Fitra religious obligatory directly given to pauper, or through mosque Agung, we have not known, because that moment the only mosque receiving religious obligatory and alms is mosque Agung.

(This Cupa is collecting family Kemas Muhammad Bachtiar, kampong Suro, Palembang)
