There are Five Pillars of Islam, one of which is Zakat. For those new to Islam or who don’t have guidance from the Muslim community, getting to grips with the five pillars – specifically Zakat – can be relatively difficult. In this event, or for anyone looking to find out more about it, our complete guide on the rules of Zakat will tell you everything you need to know about the third pillar
What is Zakat?
Zakat, also known as Zakah, is the third pillar of Islam and means ‘to purify’ your wealth in the name of Allah (SWT).
Charity in Islam is important, and there are many different obligations to follow, some of which may get confused. Sometimes, Zakat gets muddled up with Zakat Ul-Fitr, but they are different. Zakat Ul-Fitr – also known as Fitrana – is a compulsory donation (traditionally food, now more so a monetary donation to a charity who distribute food on your behalf) made before Eid. Zakat is an obligatory 2.5% donation all able Muslims make on their excess wealth to help those less fortunate and in need of assistance. If you’re wondering, can we give Zakat before Ramadan, the answer is yes, you can. It is not specific to a certain event or time of the year, although often it is given in the last 10 days of Ramadan as it is believed the rewards for giving are greatest at this time of year.
Through giving Zakat, the divide between the poor and rich is lessened and Muslims are reminded that being wealthy is not everything and that Allah (SWT) – whilst He can bless us with wealth – can take our fortune away. Through Zakat, we are able to become better Muslims.
Fidya & Kaffarah
Ramadan is a time of reflection and purification, wherein all Muslims should refrain from any vices. In instances where fasting isn’t possible, one must pay Kaffarah or Fidya instead. Each of these donations go towards helping those in need.
What is Fidya?
Fidya refers to a mandatory contribution to charity in order to make up for missed fasts. This can only be paid if you have a valid reason for not fasting and can’t make up for missed fasts at a later date. Contributing your Fidya amount 2022 for not fasting will feed someone living in poverty twice or help to provide two impoverished people with a meal each
How Much is Fidya for Ramadan 2022?
Fidya 2022 equates to $4 per person per missed fast. If a person doesn’t fast for the entirety of Ramadan, they’ll be required to pay $120 in total
What is Kaffarah?
Kaffarah is the donation made when you deliberately miss or break your fast during the month of Ramadan without a valid reason. Kaffarah is not an obligatory contribution as you can choose to fast continuously for 60 days, although, if you intentionally miss or break another fast, you must begin the 60 days again. The Kaffarah contribution is used to feed 60 people living in poverty.
