Frequently asked questions
Zakat al-Fitr (Fitra) is an obligatory charity due at the end of Ramadan. It purifies the fasting person from any shortcomings during Ramadan and ensures the poor can celebrate Eid. It is separate from Zakat al-Mal (annual wealth Zakat).
It must be paid before the Eid al-Fitr prayer. Paying it 1–2 days before Eid is recommended so recipients can prepare for the celebration. Paying it after the Eid prayer makes it regular Sadaqah, not Fitra.
The schools differ slightly on the weight of one Sa' and the type of staple food. Hanafi specifies wheat (2.0 kg), while Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali specify 2.4–2.5 kg of the local staple. These are valid scholarly interpretations of the original hadith.
The Hanafi madhab explicitly permits cash. The other three schools prefer food, but most contemporary scholars permit cash given modern circumstances. This calculator shows the cash equivalent in all cases.
Yes — this calculator uses approximate local staple food prices. For the most accurate amount, check with your local mosque or Islamic authority, as prices vary by city and region within a country.

How it works

01
Select your country
We use local staple food prices — rice, wheat, or barley — to give you an amount in your local currency.
02
Choose your madhab
Each of the four Sunni schools has slightly different rulings on the weight of one Sa'. Select the one you follow.
03
