This value is based on Shariah rulings and reflects the average cost of rice in local markets, according to the department’s research. Zakat Al Fitr is a religious obligation for every capable Muslim and aims to purify fasting individuals from idle talk while extending financial relief to the underprivileged. The ministry emphasized that giving food remains the preferred form of this charity, in line with the practices during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Awqaf is urging residents to pay their Zakat Al Fitr early to ensure timely distribution to needy families within Qatar, maximizing its impact and bringing joy to recipients during Eid celebrations. By encouraging early contributions, the ministry aims to uphold the Islamic principles of compassion, solidarity, and social responsibility ahead of the joyous festivities of Eid al-Fitr.Join our FREE WhatsApp channel to dive into a world of real-time engagement!
