Sadqa al-Fitr, also called Fitrana, is the money donated that every Muslim must pay after Ramadan, whether they were able or not. This generosity might be thought of as praising Allah SWT for the blessed month of Ramadan. With this money, any poor person may enjoy Eid al-Fitr by purchasing clothes, meals, and other sources of joy for their family.
It is a good thing to give the Fitrana until Namaz e Eid al-Fitr so that the worthy can make appropriate preparations. Every family’s income head can spend the Fitrana, the honor of all family members. If you do not know how to calculate the Fitrana amount, explore no further.
Allah has declared Sadqa al-Fitr obligatory for Muslim resources. It is just a little money; therefore, it is not a massive burden for anybody who desires to pay it.
Hadees: According to Ibn ‘Umar, “Allah’s Apostle SAWW made Sadaqa-tul-Fitr mandatory (and it was), either one Sa’ of barley or one Sa’ of dates (and its payment was required) on young and elderly people, free men and slaves.”
