About zakat al-fitr (fitrah)
Zakat al-fitr is a charity given by each Muslim, on behalf of themselves and their dependants, before the Eid prayer at the end of Ramadan. It is traditionally one sa' of a staple food per person, and scholars give slightly different modern weight equivalents; some allow paying the cash value.
Many mosques and charities announce a fixed amount each year, so please follow the figure announced by your local mosque or authority. This calculator multiplies the weight you choose by the price per kg you enter and the number of people.
