Chairman, Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman here on Wednesday advised faithful to pay Sadqa-e-Fitr (Fitrana) to the poor much before Eid-ul-Fitr so that the needy could also celebrate the festival. Talking to APP, the chairman said the most deserving people for Sadqa-e-Fitr are close relatives followed by neighbours and the poor. He said it was obligatory for people to pay Fitrana.
Explaining Fitrana, he said, it was obligatory to pay Sadaq-e-Fitr before 'Eid prayers,' so that the poor can also enjoy the Eid. "Fitrana can be given to close relatives and needy. It is not necessary to tell them that it is an amount of Fitrana," he added. Head of family should pay the Fitrana on behalf of all those under his care, such as his wife and children. He said according to Hadith-Bukhari, the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Whoever gives it before the Eid prayer, it is accepted Zakat (Fitrana), and whoever gives it after the prayer, it is a kind of charity."
