Now, let’s explore the importance of Zakatul Fitr…

Step-by-Step Guide: Understanding Zakatul Fitr

• Step 1: Learn about the obligation of Zakatul Fitr, a form of charity given at the end of Ramadan before Eid prayers (check video below for more info).

• Step 2: Calculate the amount of Zakatul Fitr due per person in your household.

• Step 3: Identify people who would be eligible to receive the zakat.

• Step 4: Make sure you pay your Zakatul Fitr before the Eid prayers. Anything after that is considered regular charity.

Pro tip: Set a reminder in your calendar or on your phone to make sure you don't forget to give Zakatul Fitr.

Bonus Pro tip: Encourage your children to contribute to Zakatul Fitr from their own savings or allowances to teach them the importance of giving.
