Zakat al-Fitr, also known as Fitrana, is an obligatory charitable contribution in Islam, typically given during the month of Ramadan before Eid al-Fitr prayers. It serves as a purification for the fasting person, ensuring that their fast remains free from any shortcomings. The rules for Zakat al-Fitr stipulate that it must be given on behalf of every member of a household, including children and dependents, and it should be given in the form of staple food items such as wheat, barley, dates, or other local dietary staples. Alternatively, monetary equivalents can be given, which are calculated based on the local cost of these staple foods.
In 2024, the amount for Zakat al-Fitr may vary depending on the region and local prices of staple foods. Typically, the amount is equivalent to the cost of one meal for each member of the household. This amount is determined to ensure that even the most vulnerable members of society can enjoy the festivities of Eid with enough food to sustain them for the day.
Zakat al-Fitr should be given before Eid prayers to ensure it reaches those in need in time for the celebrations. It's a means of purifying one's wealth and demonstrating solidarity with the less fortunate members of the community.
