Question

My uncle usually pays Fitra at the beginning of Ramadan. For the past few years, he has been paying Fitra before Ramadan. I want to know, can Sadaqatul Fitr be paid at the beginning of Ramadan or before Ramadan? 4972298881


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

It is better to pay Sadaqatul Fitr before going to the Eidgah on the day of Eid. Abdullah bin Umar. He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had instructed the people to pay sadaqat al-fitr before going out for the Eid prayer. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1509) However, there is evidence that some of the Companions performed Fitra even a few days before Eid. Such as nafe rah. Said Abdullah bin Umar. He used to perform it (fitra) a day or two before Eid. (Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith: 1806) And nafe rah. In another narration, Abdullah bin Umar. Two or three days before Eid, he used to send sadaqatul fitr to the person who collected the fitra. (Muwatta Imam Malik, Hadith: 316) So Sadaqatul Fitr should be paid towards the end of Ramadan. It also helps to meet the needs of the poor during Eid. And even if the fitra is paid before Ramadan, according to most of the jurists, it is paid. So your uncle's charity has paid the Fitr. However, since there is disagreement in this regard, he will pay Fitr in Ramadan from the front. 2394751932
