Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman and Tanzeem-ul-Madaris Ahl-e-Sunnat Pakistan President Mufti Muneeb has advised the people to pay Sadqa-e-Fitr to the poor before Eid so that the poor could make arrangements to celebrate the festival.
The most deserving people for Sadqa-e-Fitr are close relatives followed by neighbours and the poor. Fitrana was obligatory for every Muslim, who possesses enough basic foodstuffs to feed himself and his family for the duration of one day and one night, he said. He said a Muslim must pay Sadqa-e-Fitr on behalf of himself, his wife, children and any dependents. Mufti Munib informed that the minimum amount of Sadqa-e-Fitr to be paid before Eid-ul-Fitr has been fixed at Rs 80 this year.
According to the market price of 2.25 kilograms of flour, the amount for fitrana this year has been calculated at Rs 80, he added. He said those who want to pay equal to prices of barley, dates and raisins should pay Rs 200, Rs 1,280 and Rs 1,600 respectively.
