ZAKAT-UL-FITR

ZAKAT-UL-FITR

“The wealth of a person does not decrease by paying Zakat.”

Zakat-ul-Fitr, also known as Sadaqat-ul-Fitr, is a form of almsgiving specific to the end of Ramadan, aimed at purifying those who fast from any indecent act or speech and to help the poor and needy. Its uses include providing essential support to those in need, ensuring they have enough food and resources to celebrate Eid al-Fitr
It helps in addressing immediate needs such as food, clothing, and other essentials, allowing the less fortunate to join in the festive spirit. By distributing Zakat-ul-Fitr before the Eid prayers, it ensures that even the poorest members of the community can partake in the joy and celebrations, promoting social harmony and solidarity within the community. This act of charity underscores the principles of empathy and community support, central to the ethos of Ramadan and Islam.

Zekat

“The wealth of a person does not decrease by paying Zakat.”

The eight categories of recipients are: the poor, who lack basic necessities; the needy, who are slightly better off but still require assistance; zakat administrators, who manage the collection and distribution of funds; those whose hearts are to be reconciled, including new converts to Islam or those needing encouragement in their faith, slaves and captives, to aid in their liberation
individuals burdened by debt incurred out of necessity; those engaged in activities for the sake of Allah, such as religious education or community service; and travelers in need, who are stranded or without resources to return home. These categories ensure that zakat fosters social equity and community well-being by addressing various aspects of financial and social vulnerability.
