🌙 SPECIAL RAMADAN SERIES

By Sa’id Husain Abdullahi

*ZAKATUL-FITR*

Before the end of Ramadan, every Muslim who is able should give Zakat al-Fitr.

It purifies the fasting person and supports the needy on the day of Eid al-Fitr.

Abdullah ibn Umar RadhiaAllahu Anhuma reported:

*فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ وَالْحُرِّ، وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى، وَالصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ*

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Zakat al-Fitr obligatory: one sāʿ of dates or one sāʿ of barley upon every Muslim — slave and free, male and female, young and old.”

— Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim

It should be given before the Eid prayer.

Let the poor share in the joy of Eid.
