Fatwa Council Empowers Cash Giving for Zakat Al

Fitr

Ensuring the spirit of generosity resonates across the Muslim community, the UAE Council
for Fatwa has recently reaffirmed the permissibility of giving Zakat Al Fitr in cash. Set at a
recommended value of Dh25 per person for the year 1445 AH, this confirmation
underscores the importance of fulfilling this obligatory duty.

Zakat Al Fitr stands as a fundamental obligation for financially capable Muslims,
transcending age and gender boundaries. It is the responsibility of the head of the
household to ensure this duty is discharged on behalf of their spouse, children, and
dependents, ensuring no one is left behind in the spirit of giving.
