“Pay your £5 Zakat al Fitr (Fitrana)
Zakat al-Fitr is an obligatory charity paid at the end of Ramadan to help vulnerable people. Every member of a household has to pay – or have paid for them – Zakat al-Fitr, including any children or elderly people, so long as that family has enough food or money to feed themselves.
Charity In Islam
charity encompasses various forms of giving, including financial assistance, material goods, and acts of service. Muslims are encouraged to give a portion of their wealth, known as Zakat, to support the less fortunate and alleviate poverty. Zakat is calculated based on specific criteria and is distributed to specific categories of recipients, such as the poor, the needy, debtors, and those working to administer and distribute Zakat.
In addition to Zakat, Muslims are also encouraged to engage in Sadaqah, which is a general act of voluntary charity beyond the obligatory Zakat. Sadaqah can be given in the form of monetary donations, providing food and shelter to the homeless, supporting educational initiatives, healthcare projects, orphanages, and various other charitable causes.
Islamic charity is not limited to monetary contributions. It extends to acts of kindness, compassion, and service to others. Muslims are encouraged to engage in selfless acts, such as visiting the sick, assisting the elderly, helping those in distress, and actively participating in community development initiatives.
Charity encompasses various forms of giving, including financial assistance, material goods, and acts of service. It is not only seen as a moral obligation but also as a means of purifying one's wealth and fostering a sense of empathy and compassion towards others.
