Give Fitrah (Zakat al-Fitr) – Complete Your Ramadan

Fitrah (Zakat al-Fitr) is an important obligation given before Eid al-Fitr. It helps ensure that those in need can also prepare for and welcome Eid with peace and dignity.


Through Assalam Community Foundation, your Fitrah donations are delivered as food assistance to vulnerable families in Zanzibar before Eid. This support helps families prepare for Eid with their basic needs met.

At Assalam, we collect your Fitrah with great care and distribute it in accordance with Islamic principles, ensuring it reaches those who are eligible before Eid.

What Is Fitrah (Zakat al-Fitr)?

Fitrah is a specific form of charity given during Ramadan, usually before Eid-ul-Fitr. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can celebrate Eid with dignity.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“The fasting of Ramadan remains suspended between Heaven and Earth unless Zakat-ul-Fitr is paid.”
(Sunan Abu Dawood)
