Zakat Al-Fitrah
Zakat Fitrah is also known as Zakat on the Person, Zakat of Ramadan or Zakat Fitri. Zakat Fitrah was obliged in the second year of
Hijrah, the same year that fasting in Ramadan was made obligatory. Zakat Fitrah is prescribed as a means of purification for the
person who fasts, redressing wrong deeds and undesirable words uttered during fasting. Zakat is also a relief-aid to the needy.
Conditions for Zakat al-Fitr
Muslim.
Possess something (food, goods or cash) in excess of his own needs and all his dependents for the day and night of Eid alFitri.
To observe both periods of end of Ramadan and beginning of Shawwal. A person who dies before sunset and a child born after
sunset on the night before first of Shawwal, are exempted from paying Zakat Fitrah.
Zakat Fitrah is an obligation on the person and his dependents such as his wife, children who have not reached maturity and
parents. If he is unable to pay Zakat Fitrah for himself and/or his dependents due to certain difficulties, his dependents may pay
Zakat Al-Fitrah for themselves and/or for him with his permission. What is important is that Zakat Fitrah payment has been
made for every individual.
Zakat on Wealth

No stipulated time
Amount is low and all Muslims are required to pay the same
amount
The Zakat Fitrah rate that is obligatory on every person is one sa or 2.3kg of the staple food of the territory in which the person is
in.
Normal Rate (4.00 per person in 1435H / 2015): Based on the median price of 2.3kg of rice (normal/average grade) that is
consumed as a staple.
For those who can afford to pay more, should do so to further help those in need.
