Sadqa al-Fitr, also known as Fitrana, is the charity money that every Muslim must pay after Ramadan, whether they can fast. This generosity might be thought of as a way of thanking Allah SWT for the blessed month of Ramadan. With this money, any disadvantaged person can celebrate Eid al-Fitr by purchasing clothes, food, and other means of joy for themselves and their families.

Every household’s head can pay the Fitrana on behalf of all family members. We’ve got you covered if you’re wondering how to calculate Fitrana or the Fitrana amount.
