Zakat Al-Fitr
What is zakat al-fitr?
Zakat on Eid Al-Fitr is a specific kind of zakat, distributed upon the termination of the month of fast (Ramadan), obligatory on every nisab qualifying individual. Zakat al-fitr not only provides the social benefit common to other forms of zakat, but also provides a spiritual benefit as a means of atoning fasters for errors and sins committed during the month of Ramadan.
