THE TIME FOR GIVING OUT ZAKAT-UL-FITR
THE TIME FOR GIVING OUT ZAKAT-UL-FITR
When should one give out zakat-ul-fitr?
ANSWER
– According to Hanafi scholars, zakat-ul-fitr becomes obligatory upon the arrival of dawn of the day of ‘Eid. Shafi’i and Hanbali scholars maintained that its payment becomes obligatory upon sunset of the last day of Ramadan. Maliki and Hanbali scholars permitted its payment two days before its time due to the words of Ibn ‘Umar (may God be pleased with them both) who said, “They [the Companions] used to give out zakat-ul-fitr one or two days before the ‘Eid.”
And God Almighty knows best.
