What Is Zakat al-Fitr and Why It Must Be Paid Before Eid
Zakat al-Fitr—commonly known as Fitrana—is a vital act of charity due at the end of Ramadan. It serves a dual purpose: to purify your month of fasting from any mistakes or shortcomings, and to ensure that those in need can share in the joy and celebration of Eid al-Fitr. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The fast of Ramadan is suspended between the heavens and the earth until Zakat al-Fitr is given” (Abu Dawood), highlighting its importance as a completion of your fast.
This obligation falls on every Muslim who has surplus food, and it must be given on behalf of each member of the household—including children and dependents. It is essential that Fitrana is paid before the Eid prayer; delaying it without a valid reason risks missing this crucial duty. In the UK, the recommended amount for 2025 is £5 to £6 per person, based on the current cost of staple food.
When you give your Zakat al-Fitr through a trusted charity like Crisis Aid, you ensure that your donation reaches those in need on time—providing them with food, clothing, and the means to celebrate Eid with dignity. Fulfil this obligation sincerely, and let your charity mark the end of Ramadan with mercy, compassion, and purpose.
