‘Fitrana’ set at Rs320 per person

Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, an eminent religious scholar and former Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee chairman, said that the minimum amount of Sadqa-e-Fitr, a charity donation that Muslims are required to pay during the holy month of Ramadan, has been set at Rs320 for this year. Sadqa-e-Fitr is a charity donation that Muslims are required to pay during Ramadan.

According to the Islamic Shariah, the rate is based on the prices of basic foods like flour, dates, raisins, cheese, and wheat.

Sadqa-e-Fitr is important because it helps the poor and needy in society, especially during the holiday of Eidul Fitr. This act helps the poor and needy during the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr and is a way for Muslims to give back to their community and earn rewards from Allah Almighty.

Mufti Muneeb says that the cost of 2.25 kilograms of flour on the market is Rs320 per person. This is used to figure out how much Fitrana costs. If a believer wants to pay Fitrana equal to the price of barley and dates, he or she must pay at least Rs480 and Rs2,800 per person.

Also, a believer who wants to pay Fitrana at the rate of raisin should pay Rs6,400 per person for first-class dates and Rs4,800 per person for second-class raisin.

Before the Eid services, a Muslim who has more food than he needs must pay Sadqa-e-Fitr.

If the person is a breadwinner, he should also pay Sadqa-e-Fitr for his dependents, such as wife, children, dependent family or servants.

Mufti Muneeb also told the people that they should give the money to the poor before EidulFitr so that they could celebrate the holiday as well. Close family and friends are the ones who need help the most on Sada-e-Fitr, followed by neighbors and the poor.

Mufti Munibur Rehman said that the true meaning of Fitr and Fidya is to give a homeless person two meals, so it is better to pay for a hotel meal.

However, those who are wealthier should try to pay more to offer assistance to the poor in this time of skyrocketing inflation.

If someone wasn’t able to fast for the whole month of Ramadan, they would have to pay a compensation of Rs9,600 for flour, Rs14,400 for wheat, Rs84,000 for dates, Rs192,000 for first-class raisins, and Rs144,000 for second-class raisins.

In the same way, the Kufara (pay) for breaking 30 fasts in wheat would be Rs19,200, in barley Rs28,800, in dates Rs168,000, in first-class raisins Rs384,000, and in second-class raisins Rs2,88,000.

Kufara would cost Rs 3,200 in wheat, Rs 4,800 in barley, Rs 28,000 in dates, Rs 64,000 in first-class raisins, and Rs 48,000 in second-class raisins.
