Islamabad: Zakat al-Fitr, also known as Sadaqat al-Fitr, is an obligatory charity that Muslims are required to give before Eidul-Fitr. This charity is meant to help the needy enjoy the festivities of Eid. Affluent Muslims, regardless of age, are expected to make this payment.

The customary amount is equivalent to about Dirham 25 per person, typically given in the form of staple food items such as rice or grains. However, Islamic scholars also permit the payment to be made in monetary form.
