What is Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana)?
- Zakat al-Fitr is a special charity that all Muslims must give at the end of Ramadan.
- It helps poor people celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of the fasting month.
- Think of it as sharing your Ramadan blessings with those who have less…
How Much Is Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) Per Person?
Traditionally, Zakat al-Fitr is given as a specific amount of food (like dates or rice) – about the amount you can hold in two cupped hands. This is usually around 2-3 kilograms depending on the type of food.
You can also donate the equivalent value in money. The exact amount varies from country to country based on the cost of staple foods, so follow the value decided by the fatwa council in your area.
Bonyan will use your donation to provide essential food to those in need..
Who Needs to Pay Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana)?
Every Muslim who can afford it must pay Zakat al-Fitr for themselves and anyone they are responsible for (like children).
When Should I Pay Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana)?
You must pay it before Eid al-Fitr prayers, which happen early in the morning after Ramadan ends.
But you can (and should!) give as early as you want during Ramadan.
