Sadkah e Fitra is given by Muslims before the Eid al-Fitr prayer, which marks the end of Ramadan. Its purpose is to purify those who fast from any indecent act or speech and to help the needy.
The amount of Sadaqah al-Fitr is prescribed in terms of staple food items, such as wheat, barley, dates, and raisins. It is typically given on behalf of every member of the household, including children and dependents.
The payment of Sadaqah al-Fitr is obligatory on every Muslim who possesses the Nisab (minimum amount of wealth) beyond their essential needs. It serves as a means of providing for the less fortunate in the community so that they too can enjoy the festivities of Eid.
