Zakat al-Fitr

Right now, millions of families across Gaza, Yemen, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, Somalia, and Sudan are facing Eid with nothing. No food. No celebration. No dignity.

Your Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) — just £5 per person — is the specific, compulsory act of giving that closes Ramadan with purity and ensures those in need are not forgotten on Eid day. This is not general charity. It is a precise Islamic obligation, and it must reach families before Eid prayer to be valid.

See the Difference Your Zakat al-Fitr Makes

Every pound you give is traceable to a real outcome. Here is exactly what your Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) achieves:

£5: Purify one fast. Fulfil one obligation. Your Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) for one person is received, verified, and distributed — fulfilling the Sunnah and ensuring one family member's fast is purified before Eid.

£10: Cover yourself and someone you love. Pay Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) for two — yourself and a spouse, child, or elderly parent. Both fasts purified. Both obligations fulfilled.

£25: Complete Ramadan for your whole household. A family of five, fully covered. One payment. Every fast in your home purified and every obligation met — with time to spare before Eid prayer.

£50: Go beyond your household. Pay Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) for ten people. Cover extended family, a neighbour who cannot afford to give, or a colleague who didn't know it was due. Ten fasts purified. Ten families fed.

"Whoever gives it before the Eid prayer, it is an accepted Zakat. Whoever gives it after the prayer, it is ordinary charity." — Abu Dawud

Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) is unique: it is the only form of obligatory giving that directly purifies your own fast. Your donation does not just feed a family — it completes your Ramadan.

The window is open now. Don't let it close.

Our Commitment to Every Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) You Entrust to Us

When you pay your Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) through Human Appeal, you are not making a general donation — you are fulfilling a specific Islamic obligation, and we take that responsibility with the seriousness it deserves.

Our commitment to you:

Every penny of your Zakat al-Fitr (Fitana) goes directly to Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) distribution. It is not pooled with general funds, redirected to operational costs, or used for purposes beyond its Islamic designation.

Every recipient is individually verified by our teams according to Shariah principles before they receive your donation. We do not distribute to unverified individuals.

If, in exceptional circumstances, distribution in a specific country is delayed or prevented, your Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) will be redirected to the next closest eligible delivery country on our verified list — never held, never repurposed.

Don't Let Ramadan End Without Completing It

This is the final act of worship Ramadan asks of you. Not a large sum. Not a complex calculation. Just £5 per person in your household — given before Eid prayer — and your fast is purified, your obligation is fulfilled, and a family somewhere receives their Eid with food on the table.

35 years of delivery. 11 countries. 100% to verified families.

Human Appeal is committed to providing aid in the country or programme that you select. In the event we complete the programme, exceed the required funds, or are denied access to a particular country for reasons beyond our control, Human Appeal reserves the right to reallocate your donation to another programme where it is needed most.
