The valuation follows guidelines set forth by Sharia law and represents an estimate derived from the typical price of rice at nearby marketplaces as per studies conducted by the relevant authority. Zakat Al Fitr constitutes a mandatory act of worship for all able Muslims, designed both to cleanse those who fast through self-restraint and to provide monetary assistance to less fortunate members of society. According to statements made by the ministry, offering sustenance continues to hold precedence over providing cash donations in accordance with traditions established during the era of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Awqaf has encouraged citizens to settle their Zakat Al Fitr dues promptly so these resources can reach impoverished households inside Qatar without delay, thereby amplifying the benefits received and enhancing happiness among beneficiaries throughout the upcoming Eid festivities.
By promoting upfront payments, authorities seek to reinforce core Islamic values such as empathy, community support, and civic duty leading up to the jubilant observance of Eid al-Fitr.
