4/16/24, 1:55 PM UAE Council for Fatwa Allows Giving Zakat Al Fitr in Cash
This is a must for all Muslims who can afford it, no matter their age or gender.

The head of the family should pay for their spouse, kids, and others they take

care of. Before Eid Al Fitr, the Council explained that Zakat Al Fitr is

necessary, following a saying from Ibn Omar, where the Prophet Muhammad

made it a must to give charity at the end of Ramadan, either in barley or

dates. The UAE Council of Fatwa also said Zakat Al Fitr equals 2.5 kilograms

of rice per person, and you can give it as rice or money.
