Zakāh Al-Fitr
It is obligatory on A person to give zakāh Al-Fitr before the ‘Eīd salāh.
Why do we give? / wisdom
Ibn ‘Abbaas رضي الله عنهما said:
“The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) made Zakat al-Fitr obligatory as a means of purifying the fasting person from idle talk and foul language, and to feed the poor. Whoever pays it before the prayer, it is an accepted zakah, and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is just a kind of charity (sadaqah).”
(Reported by Abu Dawood, 1371. Al-Nawawi said: Abu Dawood reported it from Ibn ‘Abbaas with a hasan isnaad)
When should it be paid?
From the sunset of last day of Ramadān, before going to pray Eīd salāh.
How much should be given?
Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما said:
“The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) made Zakat al-Fitr,
One saa’ of dates or one saa’ of barley,
obligatory on the Muslims,
Bukhāri - 1407.
The weight of the saa’ varies according to the type of food concerned, so when giving Zakāh al-Fitr by weight, one must make sure that what is given is equivalent to a saa’ of that type of food.
A saa’ is approximately equivalent to three kilograms of rice.
(Calculate into your country price and give accordingly or ask An Imām Or scholar there)
Types of things you can give as zakāh Al-Fitr
should be given is food for human consumption, such as dates, wheat, rice or other kinds of food that humans eat.
the form of the staple food that is used locally, whether it is wheat, rice, dates or lentils etc..
can zakāh Al-Fitr given in cash?
As for giving Zakah al-Fitr in the form of money, this is not permissible at all, because the Prophet (ﷺ ) said that it must be given in the form of food, not money. He clearly stated that it is to be given in the form of food, so it is not permissible to give it in any other form.
whom should be given?
At-Taubah 9:60
إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلْمَسَٰكِينِ وَٱلْعَٰمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَٱلْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلْغَٰرِمِينَ وَفِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۖ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed for it and for bringing hearts together [for IsLam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allaah and for the [stranded] traveler – an obligation [imposed] by Allah. And Allaah is Knowing and Wise.
