Frequently Asked Questions

  • To whom is fitra (Zakat Al-Fitr) given?It is determined in the Qur'an to whom fitra can be given (Surah At-Tawba, 60). These; The poor, the needy, those who will be freed from captivity, those who are in debt, those who make jihad in the way of Allah (those who struggle to protect the sacred, those who learn knowledge), those who are stranded, the officials who are assigned to collect zakat, and those who are called muellefe-i qulub, that is, those whose hearts are wanted to be warmed to Islam.
  • Who is required to give zakat-al-fitr?Every Muslim who has a nisab amount of property in excess of his debts and basic needs is required to give Zakat al-fitr. The nisab sought in zakat is the measure of wealth envisaged for an individual to be liable for charity. However, the condition stipulated in zakat for zakat al-fitr is that the goods be increased, and one year has passed since then. 
  • When do you give Zakat Al-Fitr?Although zakat al-fitr becomes obligatory at dawn on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, it can also be given during Ramadan. In fact, it is preferable to give it before Eid so that the poor can meet their Eid requirements. If it is not given until the morning of Eid, it must be paid on the Eid days. Zakat al-fitr that has not been paid on time must be paid as soon as possible.
  • Is it obligatory to give zakat al-fitr in the form of barley, wheat, dates, or grapes?According to hadith, one sâ' (approximately 2.917 grams) of barley, dates, or grapes and half a sâ' of wheat is the amount of zakat al-fitr. The amount of zakat al-fitr derived from these substances is determined by the economic conditions and eating habits of the society at the time. Considering the practices of the Prophet and the Sahabas, it is understood that the amount of zakat al-fitr is aimed at meeting the daily food of a poor person in the society he lives in, based on the standard of living of a middle-class family. Today, zakat al-fitr can be given in the amount that will meet a person's normal food need for one day, as food aid in kind, or in cash for its value. However, it is more appropriate to favor what benefits the poor.
  • Does the person working abroad give the fitrah according to the conditions of Turkey?Since the living standards are different according to the countries and regions, the person who pays the zakat al-fitr has to give the zakat al-fitr over the amount that will meet the normal food need of a person for one day, depending on his/her place of residence.
