Regarding Zaakatul-Fitr (Ramadan 1446 2025)

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu dear brothers and sisters,

ICPB is not able to accept or distribute Zakaatul-Fitr. We encourage you all to fulfill the obligation of offering Zakaatul-Fitr individually. The head of the household should offer one Prophetic s () per person of the household of staple food (e.g. rice, corn, millet and so on) and deliver it directly to Muslims in need. A s  is approximately 2.4kg (5.3 lbs). Zakatul-Fitr is to be delivered to the poor before Eid Salah on the day of Eid, or it can be delivered a day or two before the 'Eid.

For more details on the rulings related to Zakatul-Fitr refer to:

The Rulings of Zakaat Al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan: What to pay, when to pay, how to pay and who to pay?

By Shaykh Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid

For those who need assistance in getting Zakaatul-Fitr to those in need, the Hidaya Foundation provides a Zakaatul-Fitr service that acccepts donations to provide food in the form of wheat, barley, rice, etc. for the less fortunate.

The Hidaya Foundation distributes several thousand dry ration packages to poor families on behalf of donors under the Sadaqat-ul-Fitr project each year.
