@Hadithoftheday Before Eid Salah.
Zakat Al-Fitr is due before Eid prayer.
Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet ﷺ ordered it (Zakat-Al-Fitr) to be given before people go out for the Eid prayer. ( Bukhari 1503, Muslim 986)

@Hadithoftheday Zakat ul-Fitr, is an obligatory charitable donation all Muslims are required to make during Ramadan.
Zakat ul-Fitr is also called as Fitrana.

The Zakat ul-Fitr amount is calculated on the basis of the current price of a staple food, equivalent to a specific weight.

@Hadithoftheday Zakat al-fitr must be given on behalf of all Muslims, young and old, male and female, free and slave.
With regard to a foetus, it is not obligatory to give it on his behalf according to scholarly consensus, but it is mustahabb, because Uthman R.A did that.

@Hadithoftheday Zakat al-fitr becomes obligatory when the sun sets on the last day of Ramadan, and must be paid before the Eid prayer. It is permissible to pay it two or three days before that, if need be.

@Hadithoftheday It stems from the third pillar of Islam, Zakat, which refers to giving to charity in order to please Allah and become both a better Muslim and a better member of the community by giving to those less fortunate.

@Hadithoftheday Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made it an obligation to pay charity at the end of Ramadan, a portion of dates or barely, upon the slave and the freeman, the male and female, the young and the old among the Muslims. +

@Hadithoftheday The Prophet ﷺ ordered it to be given before people go out for the Eid prayer. (Bukhari 1503)

@Hadithoftheday Narrated Ibn `Umar:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made it incumbent on all the slave or free Muslims, male or female, to pay one Sa 'of dates or barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr. (1 Sa' = 3 kilograms approx)

@Hadithoftheday Abu Sa’id al-Khudri R.A reported: We would bring for Zakat al-Fitr a portion of good, or a portion of barley, or a portion of dates, or a portion of cheese, or a portion of raisins.

(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1435)

@Hadithoftheday Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah obligated Zakat al-Fitr as purification of the fasting person from vain talk and misbehavior, as food for the poor. +

@Hadithoftheday Whoever pays it before the Eid prayer, it is accepted as Zakat. Whoever pays it after the Eid prayer, it is part of voluntary charity.
