Ramadan
Zakat al-Fitr
$12 - Zakat Al-Fitr (Fitrana) for one person
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) described the quantity of Zakat al-Fitr as one saa’ of staple food. A saa’ is the volume of measurement that one can scoop up with two hands together, which – for a staple such as rice or bread flour – is equivalent to about $12 today.
This means that every person in the family must pay $12 for Zakat al-Fitr. It must be paid before you attend Eid prayer in order to fulfil the Zakat requirement, but we advise you to make your donation as early as possible so that we can distribute your donation during Eid.
Don’t forget to give your Zakat al-Fitr before Eid prayer for it to be valid.
