Zakat ul-Fitr (Fitrana) A Sunnah of Mercy and Purification

Zakat al-Fitr also known as Fitrana is a beautiful Sunnah of our beloved Prophet ﷺ, given at the end of Ramadan as both an act of worship and a means of helping those in need. A compulsory charitable donation of food to the poor and needy, that must be given at the end of Ramadan before the Eid prayer. Zakat al-Fitr must be given by every Muslim who has food in excess of their needs, and given by or on behalf of every member of the household.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordained Zakat ul Fitr [Fitrana] to purify the fasting person from indecent words or actions, and to provide food for the needy. It is accepted as Zakat for the person who gives it before the Eid prayer; but it is a mere Sadaqah for the one who gives it after the prayer. Hadith–Ibn Majah

“The Prophet ﷺ made Zakat al-Fitr compulsory so those who fasted may be purified of their idle deeds and shameful talk, and so the poor may be fed.” [Hadith – Abu Dawud]
What Is Zakat al-Fitr?

Zakat al-Fitr is a mandatory charity due before Eid al-Fitr. It serves two beautiful purposes:

  • Purifying our fasts from any misdeeds or careless speech during Ramadan.

  • Feeding the poor, ensuring everyone can celebrate Eid with joy and dignity.

It is an obligation for every Muslim, regardless of age — including children and the elderly — as long as the household has enough to meet its own basic needs.
