Zakat al-Fitr is a purification for the fasting person and a food for the poor

Zakat al-Fitr purifies the fasting person from the idle talk and obscenity that occurred during the month of Ramadan. It also feeds the poor and comforts them during the Eid.

The evidence for this is the hadith of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with him, when he said: ( The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, imposed Zakat al-Fitr as a purification for the fasting person from idle talk and obscenity, and as food for the poor ) [Narrated by Abu Dawud].


Zakat al-Fitr is obligatory for every Muslim, male or female, young or old, sane or insane, and the basic principle is that it should be paid before the Eid prayer. It is also permissible, when necessary, to pay it at the beginning of the month of Ramadan.
