As Ramadan 2025 approaches, the Islamic Ideological Council (CII) has officially announced the Fitrana and Fidya rates for this year. Every Muslim eligible to pay Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) must contribute before Eid ul-Fitr, ensuring that underprivileged individuals can also celebrate the joyous occasion. Here is a complete breakdown of the Fitrana and Fidya amounts for 2025.
Fitrana 2025 Rates in Pakistan
Fitrana, also known as Sadqa-e-Fitr, is an obligatory charity given before Eid prayers. The amount varies based on different staple foods:
- Wheat – Rs. 220 per person
- Barley – Rs. 450 per person
- Dates – Rs. 1,650 per person
- Raisins – Rs. 2,500 per person
- Dried Apricots – Rs. 5,000 per person
Muslims are encouraged to pay Fitrana according to their financial capacity, choosing a higher amount if possible to support those in need.
Fidya 2025 Rates for Missed Fasts
Fidya is paid by individuals who are unable to fast due to chronic illness or old age. The Fidya amount for 30 missed fasts is as follows:
- Wheat – Rs. 6,600
- Barley – Rs. 13,500
- Dates – Rs. 49,500
- Raisins – Rs. 75,000
- Dried Apricots – Rs. 150,000
For individuals relying on subsidized wheat, the minimum Fidya per fast is Rs. 160, making it Rs. 4,800 for 30 days.
Why Fitrana & Fidya Are Important?
Fitrana purifies the fast and allows the needy to participate in Eid celebrations. It is compulsory for every Muslim, including children, with the head of the household responsible for paying it on behalf of dependents. Fidya, on the other hand, serves as a substitute for missed fasts, ensuring that those who are unable to fast still contribute to charity.
Deadline for Fitrana & Fidya 2025
Fitrana must be paid before Eid prayers, while Fidya should be given as soon as possible in Ramadan. Paying early ensures that those in need can prepare for Eid in a dignified manner.
Where to Pay Fitrana & Fidya?
Muslims can pay Fitrana and Fidya through local mosques, charitable organizations, or online donation platforms that distribute funds among deserving individuals.
Conclusion
With Ramadan 2025 fast approaching, it is crucial to fulfill religious obligations on time. Paying Fitrana and Fidya allows every Muslim to contribute to society, ensuring that no one is left behind during Eid celebrations. Ensure timely payment to maximize its impact.
