ZAKAT AL-FITR
(FITRANAH)

An obligation to purify and share the celebrations of Eid with destitute members of society at the end of Ramadan

Possessing the same meaning as Iftar, Fitr refers to the breaking of one’s fast. Zakat-al-Fitr therefore refers to the charity given at the end of Ramadan’s last fast. It is compulsory for every Muslim to give Zakat-al Fitr before Eid Salah (Festival prayers). Charity is usually given in the form of food, but Islamic scholars have agreed that a cash equivalent is also permissible.

For Muslims, Zakat-al-Fitr brings two major benefits: it helps the poor who may not have been able to engage in the Eid celebrations and also provides the one who has fasted with an opportunity to purify any errors made during the month of Ramadan.
Zakat al-Fitr (Fitranah) is calculated at £5 per person

FAQs

Zakat al-Fitr must be paid by all Muslims who have more food than they need. It must be paid during the month of Ramadan, before Eid salah. Zakat al-Fitr must be paid by everyone in your household, and can be paid by the head of the household or any one person.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) would calculate Zakat al-Fitr as one saa’, which is the amount of a staple food such as rice or flour, which can be held in both hands. In modern times, it is usually calculated at the average price of a meal. In 2025, Zakar al-Fitr with Muslim Charity is £5 per person.
