He stressed that the contribution should be made in advance so that the less fortunate can also partake in the Eid celebrations.
According to Mufti Nasir, the prescribed amount is equivalent to 1.75 kg of wheat per person, and after consultation with Islamic scholars, it has been valued at Rs: 75 this year. He added that individuals should pay this amount for themselves and their minor children, while adult, financially independent children should contribute on their own.
“SadaqatFitr purifies one's fasting from any shortcomings and directly benefits the needy,” he said, clarifying that the donation should be given to deserving individuals such as orphans, the poor, and travelers in need. He added it should not be used for mosque expenses, religious organizations, or political purposes.
