Assalamu Alaykum,

Zakat Al-Fitr is an obligatory, small charity Muslims must pay at the end of Ramadan and which is directed to those in need. Zakat Al-Fitr should reach those in need before the Eid prayer, else it is not accepted and is considered a missed obligation.

The spirit of Zakat Al-Fitr is to ensure that everyone in our local community can celebrate Eid with us and no one is left out. 

As per the Australian National Imam Council, $12 per person is the requisite amount per person for Zakat Al-Fitr in Australia. It is to be paid for all members in your household including children. 

NZF Australia accepts Zakat Al-Fitr and helps you fulfill your obligation right here in Australia. 

This year, as it is unlikely there will be Eid Prayers, we ask that you pay your Zakat Al-Fitr right now to ensure your obligation is complete and we have time to ensure this reaches those in need before Eid insha Allah.

We distribute your Zakat Al-Fitr to families, widows and orphans that deserve it the most and are financially in need here in Australia, so they may also enjoy Eid along with us.

Our easy-to-use payment portal allows you to quickly calculate how much Zakat Al-Fitr you owe.

Check out our site to pay and let your Zakat Al-Fitr make a difference locally this year!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reply to this email and ask.

Wassalam, 

The NZF Team

Note - Zakat Al-Fitr is different from Zakat al-Maal, but is ALSO obligatory and must be paid.
