What is Fitrana?
Fitrana (also called Zakat al-Fitr or Sadaqat al-Fitr) is a mandatory charity given at the end of Ramadan before Eid prayer. It serves two purposes: purifying the fasting person from any shortcomings during Ramadan, and ensuring the poor can also celebrate Eid with dignity.

Who Must Pay Fitrana?
Every Muslim who possesses wealth above their basic needs on Eid day must pay Fitrana — for themselves and their dependents (spouse, children, parents under care). Even a child or someone who didn't fast must have Fitrana paid on their behalf.
When to Pay Fitrana
- Best time: Before Eid prayer
- Recommended: A few days before Eid to allow distribution
- Latest: Before the Eid prayer begins
- If paid after Eid prayer, it counts as regular Sadaqah, not Fitrana
