Zakat-ul-Fitr, also known as Zakat al-Fitr or Eid Zakat, is a compulsory form of charity that all Muslims must give during Ramadan, specifically before the Eid prayer. It serves as a purification for the fasting person and ensures that the less fortunate can celebrate Eid with dignity. It is obligatory for every Muslim, regardless of age or financial standing, except those who do not possess one sa’ (approximately 2.6–3 kg) of staple food beyond their basic needs.
For Zakat-ul-Fitr 2025, the recommended amount is £5 per person. This donation, which equates to one sa’ of staple food, must be paid on behalf of yourself and your dependents. Your contribution will provide a nutritious meal for someone living in poverty, helping them celebrate Eid with a full stomach and renewed hope.
Paying Zakat-ul-Fitr is simple and essential. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:"Zakat-ul-Fitr purifies the fasting person from indecent words or actions and provides food for the needy. It is accepted as Zakat for the person who gives it before the Eid prayer; but it is a sadaqah for the one who gives it after the prayer." (Dawud)
To fulfil this obligation, ensure you donate before the Eid prayer. This act not only completes your Ramadan worship but also purifies your fasts and increases your reward.
