What Is Eid Fitrana?

Eid is the propitious occasion of the year which is celebrated all over the world with zeal and zest. Muslims celebrate this auspicious festival as a gift from Allah after the month of fasting. Poor people also have a right in the celebration of the festival as they also want their children and family to celebrate just like other people. Fitrana is an amount which is given to the poor people before the commencement of Eid for letting them celebrate the festival with equal happiness. It is ideal to give Fitrah before the sighting of the moon so that the poor ones can prepare for the Eid as well. Since Fitrah is just a little amount of money and it isn’t enough to meet the needs of all the people that we may want to help, for this reason, people prefer to give their Zakat for the year during Ramadan too.
