Ramaḍān Reminders 1438H: nightly reminders after Tarāwīḥ, by Ustādh Rayaan Barker (hafidhahullāh)

• Zakāt al-Fiṭr is legislated at the end of Ramaḍān to purify the fasting person of lapses and sins, and to feed the poor (Shaykh al-Fawzān, hafidhahullāh)

• It is obligatory on young and old, male and female, free and slave, and is given on behalf of oneself and those under one's care

• The time for giving it: before the Eid prayer, and if forgotten it still suffices until the end of Eid day, while delaying beyond that is sinful

• Who receives it: the poor and needy, as with zakāt al-māl, and it may be given to the guardian of a poor person

• Appointing a representative, such as the masjid collection, to buy the staple food and distribute it to the poor on one's behalf

• The view of Imām Aḥmad that the poor are not given money in place of food

Recorded at Masjid al-Furqān, Stoke-on-Trent
