About Zakat-al-Fitr

Zakat-al-Fitr, also known as Fitrana or Sadaqat-ul-Fitr, is a special form of charity given by Muslims at the conclusion of Ramadan. It is an obligatory act of worship for every eligible Muslim, designed to purify individuals’ fasts and provide for those in need, ensuring that everyone can celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with joy and dignity.

Significance of Zakat-al-Fitr

Zakat-al-Fitr holds significant importance in Islam, serving as a means to purify one’s fasts and cleanse oneself of minor shortcomings or errors committed during Ramadan. It also serves as a gesture of solidarity with the less fortunate members of society, ensuring that everyone can partake in the festivities of Eid-ul-Fitr.

Timing of Zakat-al-Fitr

Zakat-al-Fitr is typically given before the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer, preferably during the last few days of Ramadan. It is essential to ensure that Zakat-al-Fitr reaches its recipients before the Eid prayer to allow them to partake in the celebrations and festivities.

Calculation of Zakat-al-Fitr

The calculation of Zakat-al-Fitr is straightforward and is typically based on the value of staple food items consumed by the average person in the community. The prescribed amount of Zakat-al-Fitr is equivalent to a specific weight of food (e.g., wheat, barley, dates, or raisins) or its monetary value, as determined by local scholars or authorities.

Distribution of Zakat-al-Fitr

Zakat-al-Fitr is distributed to eligible recipients, including the poor and needy, before the Eid-ul-Fitr prayer. It is usually given directly to individuals in need or through trusted organizations and charities responsible for distributing Zakat-al-Fitr on behalf of donors.
