Category: Charity and Sadaqatul Fitr

Q. On whom is Sadaqatul Fitr Waajib (compulsory)?  A. Sadaqatul Fitr is Waajib on every Muslim who has the value of Nisaab on the day of Eid after subtracting debts……….

Sadaqatul-Fitr has to be paid by the end of Ramadhan. There are two times to pay Sadaqatul-Fitr. Either one or two days before Eid as ‘Umar used to do, or the day of Eid before the Eid prayer…….

Zakaah al-Fitr is often referred to as Sadaqah al-Fitr. The word Fitr means the same as Iftaar, breaking a fast and it comes from the same root word as Futoor which means breakfast…….

The acts of charity and benevolence toward the less fortunate, for the sake of Allah, are highly desired on all occasions, but more so during the blessed month of Ramadan..
