Donate Your Fitrana

It is an obligation for every Muslim to give Fitrana before participating in the Eid al-Fitr prayer. Fitrana serves to purify the fasting individual from minor acts of disobedience committed during Ramadan.

What is Fitrana?

Fitrana, also known as Sadaqat al-fitr, involves donating half a sa’ of wheat or a full sa’ of dates, barley, or raisins. In Western countries, where it might not be feasible to provide these specific items to the needy, scholars permit donating the equivalent amount in money.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Dabbagh Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Dabbagh Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Dabbagh Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Quran, Charity & Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr)

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:274) provides insight into the virtue of giving charity and helping those in need:

“Those who spend their wealth [in Allah’s way] by night and by day, secretly and publicly – they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.”

While this ayah doesn’t specifically mention Fitrana, it emphasises the importance and virtues of giving charity in Islam, which is the spirit behind the practice of Fitrana.

Hadith on Sadaqat al-Fitr

A hadith from Sahih Bukhari highlights the specific practice of Sadaqat al-Fitr (Fitrana):

Ibn `Umar reported:

“The Prophet (peace be upon him) enjoined the payment of one Sa’ of dates or one Sa’ of barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr on every Muslim, young and old, male and female, free and slave.”

(Sahih Bukhari)

This hadith directly refers to Sadaqat al-Fitr, indicating its obligatory nature for every Muslim, regardless of age or social status. The measure of a “Sa’” mentioned in the hadith is an ancient Arabic measure for volume.
