(Zakat ul Fitr)




Pay Fitrana before Eid-ul-Fitr prayers with GRF

£5 per person

 

Fitrana is the cherished tradition of helping those in need during the blessed month of Ramadan. A £5 donation must be paid before Eid prayers. Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordained Zakat ul-Fitr [Fitrana] to purify the fasting person from indecent words or actions, and to provide food for the needy. It is accepted as Zakat for the person who gives it before the Eid prayer; but it is a mere Sadaqah for the one who gives it after the prayer.” - Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah. Fulfil your Islamic duty and donate your Fitrana with GRF.

What is Zakat ul Fitr (Fitrana)?

Zakat ul-Fitr (also known as Fitrana or sometimes Sadaqatul Fitr) is a charitable donation of food that must be given before Eid-al-Fitr prayer, before the end of the month of Ramadan, for the love of Allah. Zakat ul-Fitr is a religious obligation upon every self-supporting adult Muslim who has food in excess of their needs, on behalf of themselves and their dependants.

This form of charity given purifies our fasts during the holy month of Ramadan and must be given within a set time frame - before Eid prayer. Fitrana is extremely important for the Muslim community as a whole, as It allows the beneficiary to consume a nutritious meal.

Who is obligated to pay Fitrana (Zakat ul Fitr)?

Any Muslim who has food in excess of their needs must pay Zakat ul Fitr (Fitrana). Unlike Zakat, it is a duty on everyone in your household. Therefore, the head of the household, or parents and guardians, can pay this obligatory donation on behalf of other members of the family and feed vulnerable communities in need that may be experiencing conflict, poverty or the effects of natural disasters.
