It is good to be giving charity to your fellow Muslims maybe the numbers of your people in need of food, etc will reduce at the market places, streets, communities, etc

Today is the 24th day of Ramadan. As Ramadan draws to an end, let’s remind ourselves of an important obligation—Zakatul Fitr.


Zakatul Fitr is a compulsory charity that every Muslim who fasted must give before Eid prayer. The Prophet ﷺ said:

"The fast remains suspended between heaven and earth until the Sadaqat al-Fitr is paid." (Hadith - Abu Dawood & Ibn Majah)

This means Zakatul Fitr purifies our fasts, erasing any shortcomings or mistakes we may have made while fasting.

WHAT SHOULD BE GIVEN AS ZAKATUL FITR?

The Prophet ﷺ instructed that Zakatul Fitr should be given in the form of staple food, such as:

- Rice
- Wheat
- Dates
- Corn
- Millet and
- Other local staple food

One person must give one Sā’ (approximately 4 mudus or 12 cups/tins of grain).

Scholars advise against giving money directly, but money can be given to trustworthy organizations who will purchase food and distribute it accordingly.

WHEN SHOULD IT BE GIVEN?

Before the Eid prayer—if given after, it is just an ordinary charity, not Zakatul Fitr.

It should be given early enough so that the needy can benefit from it on Eid day.


Let’s fulfill this obligation properly, ensuring our fasts are complete and bringing joy to the less privileged on Eid.

May Allah accept our fasts, prayers, and acts of charity. Ameen!

Are you talking about poor Muslims in the Streets?

See them here in the Bible:
At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. This looks more like those Muslims especially Al-Majiri picking up foods outside!

This is not your business.....look around you if you dont have less priviledge people even ur immediate family, you will one.
Why can you mind business and help ur family

Antlisiam:
We are blessed in Christendom, you will never see us in markets, streets, like these your people below

Omoboricash:
Congratulations. Have you been to east? Their mode of operation is different from hausa, they have drum and singing for beg for money.
If you are in Lagos go to Jibowu or Mile 12 where they load east.
Another method is giving envelop to passenger to put money inside after praying for them in the bus.
All nah scam and begging.

Your methodology of begging is just different from hausa way or would i muslim ways.
But all nah begging for money

As Salam alaikum.
1. Please, I am confused with " every Muslim who fasted must give..."
Are you saying the les privileged who fasting too should give? And if everyone have to give, who is to collect?
2. Do we give o unborn baby too?
