The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“The fast remains suspended between Heaven and Earth until the Sadaqatul Fitr is paid.” (Sunan Abu Dawood, 1609)

A. Who Must Pay Sadaqatul Fitr?

• Every adult Muslim who meets the Nisab threshold (wealth equivalent to 612.36 grams of silver).
• The head of the household must pay for their dependents, including children.
• Even a newborn child (born before Eid day) requires Sadaqatul Fitr to be paid on their behalf.

B. When Should It Be Given?

• It should be given before Eid Salah.
