Sadqah-e-Fitr, also known as Zakat al-Fitr or Fitrana, is an obligatory charity given by Muslims at the end of Ramadan before the Eid al-Fitr prayer. It is a form of purification of one’s fast and is intended to provide food and other basic necessities to those in need, especially the poor and the needy so that they too can enjoy the Eid festivities.
The amount of Sadqah-e-Fitr is typically equivalent to the cost of one meal (or 2.5-3.5 pounds) of the staple food of the region. It is mandatory for every Muslim who possesses the nisab (minimum amount of wealth) to pay this charity on behalf of themselves and their dependents.
