FITRA - Sadaqatul Fitr

Fitr means to break fast or to refrain from fasting. Hence the Eid after the fasts of Ramadhân is called Eid ul Fitr, as it is the day of rejoicing after the completion of fasting.

On this occasion of happiness, as a sign of gratitude one has to give a specific amount in alms, which is called Sad’qatul Fitr. To purify and obtain complete blessings for the fasts of Ramadhân Mubârak one has to give Sadaqatul Fitr. It is reported from Ibn Abbâs Radiallâhu anhu that Rasulullâh Sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam made charity of Fitr compulsory as a purification of fasts from useless talks and vile discourses and also as food to the poor (Abû Dawûd). Thus it is Wâjib to give Sadaqatul Fitr to purify one’s fast. The true object in giving Sadqatul-fitr on this happy, occasion is also to assist the poor and needy, so that, they may rejoice with the more fortunate.

In a narration of Tirmidhi, it is reported that Rasulullâh Sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam sent a proclaimer through the lanes of Makkah to proclaim. “Beware charity of Fitr is Wâjib on every Muslim, male or female, free or slave, young or old two muuds [measures] of wheat, or its equivalent, or one Sa’a from food crops”. It is apparent from this Hadîth that Sadaqatul Fitr is wâjib on every Muslim. A person should pay Sad’qatul¬Fitr on behalf of his family if they own no wealth. It is Wâjib to pay Sadaqatul Fitr whether one fasts or not. read more
