Key Rulings

๐Ÿ“…

Becomes obligatory at sunset of last day of Ramadan.

๐Ÿ•Œ

Must be paid before Eid prayer to be valid Fitrah. Paying after = charity, not Fitrah.

๐Ÿ‘ถ

A child born before sunset on Eid night also requires Fitrah.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Hanafi: Cash recommended as it helps the poor more directly. Other schools: food preferred or required.

๐ŸŒ

Should be given to the poor of the locality where you reside at the time of Eid.

โญ
