Fitrana UK 2025

Fitrana, or Zakat al-Fitr, is a vital obligation for every able Muslim to fulfill before the Eid prayer at the close of Ramadan. This charity is required for each person in your household, including children and dependents, and serves a profound purpose: to purify your fast from any shortcomings and to ensure that the less fortunate can share in the joy of Eid. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The fast remains suspended between Heaven and Earth until the Sadaqat al-Fitr are paid.” (Abu Dawood)

In 2025, the typical Fitrana amount in the UK is set at around £5 per person, with many charities suggesting £6 to reflect rising food costs. You may choose an amount that suits your means while respecting local guidance. It’s essential to pay Fitrana before the Eid prayer—ideally in the final days of Ramadan—so those in need receive it in time to celebrate with dignity and happiness.

Paying Fitrana is more than a duty; it’s a beautiful way to close your Ramadan with compassion and generosity, ensuring no one is left behind during this blessed time.
