What is Fitrana (Zakat al Fitr)?

Fitrana is a compulsory charitable payment that every eligible Muslim must give at the end of Ramadan. The obligation of Fitrana was established by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is based on the famous hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) ordained Zakat ul Fitr to purify the fasting person from indecent words and actions, and to provide food for the needy. It is accepted as Zakat for the person who pays it before the Eid prayer; but it is a mere Sadaqah for the one who pays it after the prayer.

Ibn Abbas (RA), narrated by Abu Dawood (1605)

This hadith tells us that Fitrana has two key purposes: purification of our fasts from any indecent act or speech during the holy month of Ramadan, and providing food to needy people so they can celebrate Eid al Fitr alongside the rest of the Muslim community.

Is Fitrana Obligatory?

Yes, Fitrana is obligatory (Wajib) upon every Muslim who possesses enough food to meet their own needs and the needs of their household for the day and night of Eid al Fitr. It is not optional, and it is not limited to the wealthy. If you have enough food in your home to feed yourself and your family for Eid day, you are required to pay Fitrana, for yourself and for every member of your household.

The scholarly consensus on this is rooted in a clear and authenticated narration:

"The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) made Zakat ul Fitr obligatory upon the Muslim slave and free man, male and female, young and old, and he commanded that it be paid before people go out to offer the Eid prayer."

Ibn Umar (RA), narrated by Bukhari (1503) and Muslim (984)

How much is Fitrana 2026

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) described the amount of fitrana as one saa’ of food, equivalent to 4 ‘madd’, which is the amount that fills one's hands when held together. In today's world, Zakat ul fitr is usually valued at the cost of one meal to be given to a needy person.

In the UK, the average price of a meal is around £5. Therefore, every Muslim is bound to pay £5 Fitrana to uphold their religious duty. Eid-ul-Fitr is expected to be observed on 19th March 2026 in the UK. We encourage all Muslims to donate Fitrana before the specified date to ensure timely aid reaches to needy people.

What is the purpose of Fitrana

Every Muslim is obliged to make a payment of Fitrana at the end of Ramadan as a token of their thankfulness to Allah (SWT) and all that He has given them. This payment ensures that all followers of Islam can celebrate Eid, the festival of breaking the fast, along with other Muslims around the world.

Al Mustafa Welfare Trust plays a vital role in providing food, basic supplies and Eid gifts to orphans and to less fortunate, ensuring that everyone celebrates the blessings of Eid. Through your donations, we strive to spread happiness.

Who Must Pay Fitrana?

Fitrana is obligatory for every Muslim who has enough food to meet their own needs and the needs of their household for the day and night of Eid.

The head of the household is responsible for paying Fitrana on behalf of themselves and all their dependents, including:

• Children of any age (including newborns, if they are born before the Eid prayer)

• Elderly parents or relatives in the household

• Any dependents who cannot pay for themselves

What is Fitrana?

Fitrana, also known as Zakat al Fitr or Zakat ul Fitr, is a compulsory charity that every eligible Muslim must pay at the end of Ramadan before the Eid al Fitr prayer. Its purpose is to purify the fasting person's worship and to provide food for needy people so they can celebrate Eid.

How much is Fitrana 2026 in the UK?

The Fitrana amount in the UK is £5 per person. This monetary equivalent is based on the cost of one saa' of staple food (approximately 2.5kg) converted to the local price of a staple food such as wheat or flour. You must pay £5 for every member of your household, including children and dependents.

When must Fitrana be paid?

Fitrana must be paid before the Eid al Fitr prayer. It can be paid anytime during the month of Ramadan, but scholars recommend paying 1–2 days before Eid to allow time for distribution. Any Fitrana paid after the Eid prayer only counts as voluntary Sadaqah, not as Fitrana.

What is the difference between Fitrana and Zakat?

Fitrana (Zakat al Fitr) is a fixed per-person payment due before Eid al Fitr, paid on behalf of every household member. Annual Zakat is 2.5% of an individual's surplus wealth and is only required if wealth exceeds the nisab threshold. Fitrana is tied to Ramadan; Zakat can be paid any time of year.

Can I give Fitrana online?

Yes. You can donate Fitrana 2026 online through Al Mustafa Welfare Trust at almustafatrust.org/appeals/fitrana/. Online payment is the fastest and safest way to ensure your Fitrana is processed and distributed before Eid.

What does Al Mustafa Trust do with Fitrana donations?

Al Mustafa Trust distributes 100% of your Fitrana donation to eligible recipients including orphans, vulnerable families, and people in need. Your donation is used to provide food parcels, essential supplies, and Eid gifts so that families can celebrate Eid al Fitr with dignity.
