Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana)
Pay Fitrana before Eid prayer to purify your fast and help families celebrate Eid.
Understand your Fitrana ↓A small act of giving. A place for others in your Eid.
Zakat al-Fitr, also called Fitrana, is charity associated with the close of Ramadan. It brings attention to people whose needs can be overlooked as families prepare to celebrate.
Unlike a donation calculated as a percentage of wealth, Fitrana is worked out per person. Start with your household, confirm the rate you follow, and make arrangements early enough for distribution before Eid prayer.

Fitrana is separate from Zakat on wealth
Both are important forms of giving, but their calculations serve different purposes.
Fitrana is linked to Ramadan and calculated per person. Zakat on wealth depends on eligible assets and the conditions that apply to them. A wealth-based Zakat calculation does not automatically include your household’s Fitrana.
For personal questions about eligibility, payment in cash or food, or the people you should include, consult a qualified scholar.
Explore the Zakat guide →Your Fitrana questions, answered
Clear starting points for planning your giving before Eid.
What is Zakat al-Fitr?
It is the charity associated with the end of Ramadan, also known as Fitrana. It is intended for people in need and is distinct from Zakat on wealth.
When should I arrange payment?
Plan for distribution before Eid prayer. Check the collecting organization’s deadline, which may be earlier to allow time for delivery.
Is Fitrana calculated for each missed fast?
No. Fitrana is calculated per person. Fidya and Kaffarah relate to different obligations and should not be treated as interchangeable with Fitrana.
Is PKR 500 the rate everywhere?
No. The referenced Transparent Hands page displays PKR 500, but rates can vary by year, location, food basis, and scholarly guidance. Confirm the applicable rate before paying.
Can I pay on behalf of my family?
People often arrange payment for themselves and their dependents. Confirm whom you are responsible for under the guidance you follow, and avoid paying twice for someone whose Fitrana has already been arranged.
Can I use the same payment as my regular Zakat?
Keep the amounts and intentions clear. Select Zakat al-Fitr for your Fitrana contribution rather than assuming a general Zakat or Sadaqah donation will be treated as Fitrana.
