Zakat –ul- Fitr
Zakat Ul-Fitr is the charity that we pay at the end of Ramadan.
What is Zakat ul-Fitr?
Here is the foundational hadith that establishes the obligation of Zakat ul-Fitr:
Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam), made Zakat al-Fitr compulsory on every slave, freeman, male, female, young and old among the Muslims; one Saa` (a measurement: four double handfuls) of dried dates or one Saa` of barley.
[Sahih Bukhari – Arabic/English, vol. 2, p. 339, no. 579]
