Zakat Al Fitr (Eid Al Fitr charity) at Dirham 25 per person or an equivalent of 2.5 kg of rice.

Zakat is a mandatory charitable contribution required from all financially capable Muslims—men,
women, and children—and can be given anytime from the first day of Ramzan until the morning of
Eid Al Fitr, before the Eid prayer begins.
