To calculate Zakat al-Fitr for Ramadan 2024, you will need to know the following:

The price of a staple food item in your locality. This can be rice, wheat, barley, dates, or raisins.The number of people in your household.

Once you have this information, you can use the following formula to calculate Zakat al-Fitr:

Zakat al-Fitr = (Price of 1 staple food item) x 4

For example, if the price of 1 kilogram of rice in your locality is $2, then your Zakat al-Fitr would be $8 per person in your household.

Here is an example of how to calculate Zakat al-Fitr for a family of four:

Price of 1 kilogram of rice: $2 Number of people in the household: 4 Zakat al-Fitr: ($2) x 4 = $8 per person Total Zakat al-Fitr for the family: $8 x 4 = $32

Zakat al-Fitr is due on the day of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. It is important to pay Zakat al-Fitr before Eid al-Fitr prayer.
