Friends, zakat fitrah is a form of worship that is highly recommended in Islam, especially before Eid al-Fitr. Not only as a soul cleanser for Muslims, zakat fitrah is also considered a way to help those in need. In this article, Sahabat will explore thoroughly about zakat fitrah 2024, starting from the arguments, the calculation of zakat fitrah in Indonesia, to how Dompet Dhuafa makes it easy for Sahabat to give zakat fitrah.

Dalil Zakat Fitrah

Zakat-ul-Fitr is required by Islam as one of the pillars of Islam that must be carried out by every Muslim, both men and women. In QS Al-Baqarah verse 43, Allah SWT says, ‘And establish prayer, pay zakat and bow with those who bow’. In addition, it is also mentioned in the Word of Allah SWT in Surah At-Taubah verse 103, ‘Take zakat from some of their wealth, with zakat you clean and purify them and pray for them. Indeed, your prayers (become) peace of mind for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing’. All these verses command us to give zakat.

The evidence on which zakat fitrah is based can also be found in a hadith narrated by Ibn Umar RA, which states that the Prophet SAW made zakat fitrah obligatory to cleanse the fasting person from mistakes and vain speech, and as food for the poor (HR. Bukhari and Muslim).

Calculation of Zakat Fitrah 2024 in Indonesia

In Indonesia, the calculation of zakat fitrah is usually determined by the government or Islamic institutions such as the relevant BAZNAS based on the price of basic commodities, especially rice, which is the staple food of the majority of the Indonesian population. For zakat fitrah 2024, the nishab (minimum measure of wealth subject to zakat) is set at 2.5 kg or 3.5 litres of rice per person. Zakat fitrah is calculated per person. This means that every family member that Sahabat is responsible for is obliged to pay zakat fitrah. For example, if you have a family with 4 members, then multiply the total of 4 family members.
