Zakat ul fitr and the importance of giving it out.

 Zakat ul fitr and the importance of giving it out.


Alhamdulillah, Zakat-ul-Fitr means the charity for breaking the fast.


It is obligatory to give out before one goes to the Eid prayer.

The head of the family can give it out in the name of the other members of the father.


So for every member of the family, the quantity of rice or maize to be given is 3.7 kg.

That is Mudd and 4mudd is equal to one sa'a.


Zakat-ul-fitr is not to be given money but rather food.

As the time of rasulullaah salla Allahu alayhi wasalam, the Zakatul Fitr is given in the form of food not money.


As reported in Hadith,

Narrated Ibn `Umar:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made it incumbent on all the slave or free Muslims, male or female, to pay one Sa' of dates or barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1504

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:

The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered (Muslims) to give one Sa' of dates or one Sa' of barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr The people rewarded two Mudds of wheat as equal to that.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1507.

Ibn 'Umar said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prescribed the Sadaqa of Ramadan (Sadaqat-al-Fitr) one sa' ofdates or one sa' of barley for every free man or a slave, male or female, and then the people equalised (one sa' of dates or barley) with half a sa' of wheat.

Sahih Muslim 984 c.


Zakat-ul- fitr is obligatory except if one has no means to give it out.

Zakat-ul- Fitr is not given after Eid ul fitr but rather given before Eid.


Anyone who gives it out after Eid prayer has not given Zakatul fitr rather a a swadaqah.


May Allah grants us wealth to give it out. Aamiin

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

As Time passes
