How Much is Sadaqa Al-Fitr?
Sunday September 28, 2008
Sadaqa Al-Fitr (also known as Zakatul-Fitr) is a small amount of food to be given in charity at the end of Ramadan, before the holiday (Eid) prayers. The amount of Sadaqa Al-Fitr is one sa'a per person, an ancient measurement of volume which is no longer in common use. So how much is a sa'a and how should you go about making your family's donation?
Looking Ahead: Eid al-Fitr is expected to fall on Tuesday or Wednesay in most of the world.
