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.
The Time to Give Zakaat of Fitr
| Prohibited Time After the 'Eid prayer |
| Recommended Time After Fajr and before the 'Eid prayer |
| Permissible Time A day or two before 'Eid. |
The Amount of Zakaat of Fitr
1 Saa'a of food which is equal to 2kg and 40 grams of good wheat. Money is not sufficient
