This Ramadan, your Fitrana can do more than fulfil a ritual - it can transform lives.
Fitrana (also called Zakat al‑Fitr) is an obligatory charity given by Muslims at the end of Ramadan. It was prescribed by the Prophet (ﷺ) as a charity to be given by every Muslim before going out for the Eid prayer.
This Ramadan, every member in your family needs to pay Fitrana in the amount of £4 to feed our impoverished brothers and sisters.
The purpose of Fitrana is twofold: to complete and purify our worship after Ramadan, and to ensure that those facing hardship are remembered and supported on Eid. Our beloved Prophet ﷺ, described in the Qur’an as رَحْمَةٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ (a mercy to all worlds), taught us to care for the poor and vulnerable so that no one feels forgotten on this blessed day.
By giving Fitrana, you help provide food and support for families, children, and elders, allowing them to celebrate Eid with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind.

Why Fitrana Matters
For many, Ramadan is already a challenge. Families struggling with rising costs often face tough choices - heating their homes or preparing a proper meal for Eid. Children can go to bed hungry, and elders may feel isolated. Your Fitrana ensures they have enough food to celebrate Eid, creating a moment of happiness and relief.
Paying Fitrana isn’t just fulfilling a vital Islamic obligation, instead it’s a small contribution that could deliver lasting hope to individuals across the country and beyond borders.
What is Fitrana and why is it important?
Fitrana, also known as Zakat al-Fitr, is a compulsory charity given by Muslims at the end of Ramadan, before the Eid prayer. It purifies any shortcomings in our fasts and allows those facing hardship to share in the joy of Eid. By giving Fitrana, you help ensure that vulnerable families, children, and elders have access to food and can celebrate Eid with dignity and peace of mind.
Who benefits from my Fitrana donation?
Your Fitrana helps families, children, and elderly people in the UK and around the world. Contributions provide nutritious food parcels, special meals for children, and essential support for those facing hunger, poverty, and isolation during Eid.
How does Fitrana support communities in need?
Fitrana goes beyond feeding individuals as it also strengthens the communities. By providing food, care, and connection, your donation ensures vulnerable families feel supported, elders are treated with dignity, and children are able to truly experience a joyous occasion like Eid ul Fitr.

What is the difference between Zakat and Zakat–ul-Fitr?
The first difference between Zakat and Zakat ul Fitr, Fitrana, is eligibility. All Muslims must pay Zakat ul Fitr regardless of their age or financial status, unless they honestly do not have the means to do so.
The second difference lies in the amount due. The amount attributed to Zakat al Fitr, or Fitrana, is very small - it rarely exceeds £5. It is the same amount for all, regardless of financial situation. Zakat, however, can amount to a larger amount because it’s 2.5% of all net savings, and varies from person to person.
The third and final difference lies in their due dates. Zakat can be paid at any time, with the only condition being that the earnings reflect one year’s worth of net savings (one lunar year). Zakat ul Fitr, however, goes hand in hand with Ramadan. Fitrana, must be paid during Ramadan, before the Eid prayers at the very latest. This is a very specific time frame that all Muslims must abide to.
