Zakat al-Fitr is a compulsory donation that all Muslims are required to pay in Ramadan and before the Eid prayers. All Muslims – regardless of their age – are required to pay Zakat al-Fitr.
The minimum amount due is the equivalent of about one sa’ (approximately 3kg) of rice, wheat, or other staple food for each member of the household – including children and dependants – even if they do not live in the same house.
