As Ramadan draws to an end, let’s remind ourselves of an important obligation—Zakatul Fitr.


Zakatul Fitr is a compulsory charity that every Muslim who fasted must give before Eid prayer. The Prophet ﷺ said:

"The fast remains suspended between heaven and earth until the Sadaqat al-Fitr is paid." (Hadith - Abu Dawood & Ibn Majah)

This means Zakatul Fitr purifies our fasts, erasing any shortcomings or mistakes we may have made while fasting.

WHAT SHOULD BE GIVEN AS ZAKATUL FITR?

The Prophet ﷺ instructed that Zakatul Fitr should be given in the form of staple food, such as:

- Rice
- Wheat
- Dates
- Corn
- Millet and
- Other local staple food

One person must give one Sā’ (approximately 4 mudus or 12 cups/tins of grain).

Scholars advise against giving money directly, but money can be given to trustworthy organizations who will purchase food and distribute it accordingly.

WHEN SHOULD IT BE GIVEN?

Before the Eid prayer—if given after, it is just an ordinary charity, not Zakatul Fitr.

It should be given early enough so that the needy can benefit from it on Eid day.


Let’s fulfill this obligation properly, ensuring our fasts are complete and bringing joy to the less privileged on Eid.

May Allah accept our fasts, prayers, and acts of charity. Ameen!

It also doubles the reward of our fast

Ma Sha Allah

QUESTIONS:
1) Does that means the poor people who received the sakat too must remove from the gift and also give it out?
2) When does giving out Sakatul Fitr stat, tomorrow or next tomorrow?

Thanks

You didn't talk about WHO to give

1. No, people with enough in excess or have the means to do it. It is done by the guardian, usually the father on behalf of every member of his household. That is 12 cups of grain per dependent

For those who can afford rice, please give rice o. Enough garri

2. It must be done before praying Eid/date of Eid.

Really? People give garri? I never knew it was amongst the options of foods one can use for zakat, I thought it was strictly grains like rice, beans, corn etc or the cash equivalent

Who said so it's one of the beauty of Islam to show mercy to the kufar and someone them can see the beauty of Islam and leave the pagan way and Islam...

People give gaari all the time , in fact most of the time. I guess it is because it can be better measured in cups and it is cheaper too.


I have always thought it could be any food but Islamqa says differently. They may be wrong as well

I see, staple foods that are eaten within that region. Garri has never been an option for me for Zakat and in shaa Allah, it will never be.

Amin. It will never be. May God accept your ibadah Eid Mubarak in advance
