Paying NZ$15 Zakat ul-fitr per person to Baitul Maal New Zealand by 16 April 2023 will ensure it reaches the deserving before Eid ul-Fitr.
“Every Muslim is required to pay Zakat ul-fitr at the conclusion of the month of Ramadhan as a token of thankfulness to Allah the most glorified, the most high for having enabled them to observe fasts,” said Mohammed Afiz, Chairperson of Baitul Maal New Zealand.
“Its purposes are related to the individual for completion of the fast and compensation for any shortcomings in their actions or speech, and to spread love and happiness in society – particularly the poor and needy – during the day of ‘Eid.”
