Morocco’s Supreme Scientific Council has announced the value of Zakat al-Fitr for this year, setting it at MAD 23 per person. The Council also emphasized that individuals are welcome to contribute more if they wish to.
In a statement released this week, the Supreme Scientific Council explained the significance of Zakat al-Fitr, stating that it is a legal obligation reflecting the values of solidarity within the Muslim community, allowing them to draw closer to God and symbolizing the breaking of the Ramadan fast.
“Zakat al-Fitr is also equivalent to 2.5 kilograms of grain or flour,” the statement further detailed, providing an alternative method of fulfilling the obligation.
The Council advised that Zakat al-Fitr should ideally be paid up to three days before Eid al-Fitr. This allows ample time for the funds and goods to reach those in need before the celebration marking the end of Ramadan.
