Kiasi cha kawaida cha chakula, kilo nne za mahindi au thamani yake sawa kwa pesa taslimu au kwa bidhaa, kinapaswa kutolewa kama Zakaatul-Fitr.

Four handfuls of the normal food, four kg of maize or its equivalent in cash or kind should be paid as Zakaat of Fitr.

Inapaswa kutolewa baada ya kuzama jua siku ya mwisho ya Ramadhaan. Inaruhusiwa kuilipa mwanzoni mwa Ramadhaan. Lakini ni bora kuitoa mara baada ya Swalah ya Alfajiri kabla ya kwenda kwenye Swalah ya Eid. Ni haramu kuilipa baada ya Swalah ya Eid.

It is to be given after the sunset of the last day of Ramadhaan. It is permissible to pay it at the beginning of Ramadhaan. But better to give it just after the Fajr Salaah before going for the Eid Salaah. It is forbidden to pay it after the Eid Salaah.
