How the Fitrana Calculator (Sadaqat al-Fitr) works
Sadaqat al-Fitr is due for every member of the household, including children, before the Eid al-Fitr prayer. The head of the household pays for dependants.
Each year religious authorities announce a per-person amount based on the price of wheat, barley, dates or raisins. Those who can afford it are encouraged to pay at the higher rates. Enter the rate for your city.
The formula
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| People in your household you pay for (including yourself) | 5 |
|---|---|
| Per-person rate announced for your area | $300 |
| Rate based on | Wheat or flour (half a sa’) |
- 5 people × 300 = $1,500.
Result:
| Total fitrana | $1,500 |
|---|---|
| Per person | $300 |
| Basis | Wheat or flour |
Frequently asked questions
When should fitrana be paid?
Before the Eid al-Fitr prayer; many pay during the last days of Ramadan so it reaches those in need in time for Eid.
Can fitrana be paid in cash?
The Hanafi school allows cash equal to the value of the food; other schools prefer food. Follow your local scholars.
