Zakat-ul-Fitr, also known as Fitrana, is a compulsory charity given at the end of Ramadan by every Muslim who possesses more than their basic needs. This sacred obligation must be fulfilled before the Eid prayer, allowing vulnerable families to meet their essential needs and celebrate Eid with dignity.
How Much Is Zakat ul Fitr?
Zakat ul Fitr is traditionally given as staple food such as wheat, rice, dates, or barley, or its cash equivalent. The exact amount may vary slightly depending on food prices and local guidance.
