Fiqh Of Fasting, Zakat Al-Fitr & Eid

Zakaat of Fitr

Study Duration
1 Min


It is obligatory upon everyone who has reached the sunset of the last day of Ramadaan
while s/he is a Muslim; whether old, young, male, female, slave, or free. It should be given
on the night or day of Eid, and to give a Saa' from that which a person and the family have
extra from their basic needs. It is recommended to give it even on behalf of a fetus. The
wisdom behind it is:
-It is purification for the fasting person from misbehavior.
-It suffices the poor from begging on the Day of 'Eid.
