Zakat Al Fitr

Pay Zakat al Fitr

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made Zakat al-Fitr, one saa’ of dates or one saa’ of barley, obligatory on the Muslims, male and female, young and old. The man has to pay on behalf of himself and his wife, his children and parents if they are poor.  A saa’ is approximately equivalent to three kilograms of rice. The amount in sterling is £5 per person.
