Purify your fast. Feed a family in need.
Fitrana, also known as Zakat al Fitr, is a charitable payment due on every Muslim at the end of Ramadan. It purifies our fasts, helps us complete the month with humility and ensures that families in hardship can celebrate Eid with dignity.
Your Fitrana helps families who cannot afford even the basics for Eid. Through Aghosh UK, your donation is given as actual food and essential items to those who need it most.
What is Fitrana
Fitrana is a small but powerful charity obligation that every Muslim must give before the Eid prayer. It was established so that no one is left hungry on the day of Eid.
It must be paid for:
- yourself
- your spouse
- your children
- any dependents under your care
Your Fitrana supports vulnerable families including orphans, widows and low income households who struggle to buy food during Eid.
How Much Is Fitrana This Year
The amount of Fitrana is based on the cost of staple food. It is the same for every eligible person
You can give on behalf of your entire family in a single donation.
