LAHORE – Muslims pay Fidya and Fitrana during Ramadan to fulfill religious obligations and support those in need. Fitrana, which is Zakat al-Fitr, must be paid ahead of Eidul Fitr prayer, so that those underprivileged can enjoy the celebrations.
Every year Fitrana amount is different and for 2025, Pakistan’s top Islamic Body chief officially announced minimum Fitrana at Rs220 per person as per the current value of wheat.
For those wishing to donate using other food items, CII set specific amounts: Rs1,650 for dates, Rs2,500 for raisins, and Rs5,000 for dried apricots. Scholars stressed paying these ahead of Eid prayer so that those less fortunate during the holy month can enjoy the festive occasion with their loved ones.
