Did you give your zakat al-fitr??

 What is zakat al-fitr ? (From Sunnah)

Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined zakaat al-fitr as a purification for the fasting person from idle and obscene speech, and to feed the poor. Whoever gives it before the prayer(eid), it is zakaat al-fitr, and whoever gives it after the prayer(eid), it is ordinary charity. This was narrated by Abu Dawood and classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.


When should it be paid?

Zakat al-fitr becomes obligatory when the sun sets on the last day of Ramadan, and must be paid before the Eid prayer.

It is permissible to pay it two or three days before that, if need be.

 Who should  paid and what is to be paid? (From Sunnah)

In al-Saheehayn it is narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: At the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) we used to give one saa’ of food, or one saa’ of dates, or one saa’ of barley, or one saa’ of raisins.

This is indicated by the report narrated by Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) enjoined zakaat al-fitr, a saa‘ of dates or a saa‘ of barley, on behalf of free and slave, male and female, young and old, among the Muslims.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1503), Muslim (984).

being a Muslim is a condition of zakat al-fitr being obligatory, and that it is not required of the disbeliever on his own behalf.

Jazakallah khair
