Eid 2024: As soon as the Eid moon is visible, the month of Ramadan ends and Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated the next day. Eid will be celebrated in the country on 11 April 2024. There are some special rules in the Muslim community regarding the festival of Eid, one of which is paying Zakat and Fitra.
Eid is celebrated after Ramzan. But before celebrating Eid, Muslims are required to pay Zakat and Fitra. The idea behind paying Zakat and Fitra before Eid Namaz is that everyone, rich and poor, should celebrate Eid, no one should be left wanting and every house should be filled with happiness on the festival of happiness, Eid.
However, people have many questions in their minds regarding Zakat and Fitra, what is Zakat and Fitra, what should be donated, how much should be donated and when should it be donated. Let us know about it in detail-
What is Zakat and Fitrah?
Zakat and Fitra are a kind of charity, which is given before Eid prayers. Zakat is also included in the 5 pillars of Islam, which is the duty of every Muslim to fulfill. According to the religion of Islam, every capable person must pay Zakat.
What is Fitra (Fitrah, In Eid-ul-Fitr, Fitr has been added to Eid, which has special significance. Fitra is derived from Fitr or Fitr, which means money that is given by people from affluent, wealthy or capable families to the financially weak or needy. It is offered before Eid namaz so that people from poor families can also celebrate Eid.
What is Zakat: There is a tradition of paying Zakat before Eid namaz or during Ramadan. Like Fitra, Zakat is also given to the poor, needy or orphans.
How much Zakat is paid (Zakat Rules)
Zakat is paid before Eid. But the question is how much Zakat should be deducted. Let us tell you that 2.5 percent Zakat is deducted on the total amount of gold jewelery and cash kept with you for more than a year. By paying Zakat in this way, Allah’s mercy remains.
How much Fitrah is taken out (Fitrah Rules)
Fitra is also taken out before the Eid namaz on the day of Eid. Zakat is given where two and a half percent of the total amount of cash and gold jewelery is given. Whereas in Fitra, two and a quarter kilos of wheat or its equivalent amount is given. But if you are rich or capable then you can give more than this.
