When Can You Pay Zakaat Al Fitr?
Zakat al Fitr goes hand in hand with Ramadan. It should be paid after the sighting of Shawwal moon and before the Eid prayer but it is best to pay Zakat al Fitr ongoing for Eid ul Fitr prayer. Zakat can be paid at any time of the year but Zakat al Fitr has to be paid at the end of the holy month of Ramadan 1 or 2 days before eid which is obligatory. Muslims who possess an excessive amount of food or goods according to their needs have to pay the fitrana before the end of Ramadan. Zakat al Fitr is mandatory for adults, children, newborns, and heads of the family.
