Fitrana

What is Fitrana? Fitrana is an obligation on every Muslim who has wealth above the threshold of nisaab. It is a means of purifying the fasting person from their shortcomings in the month of Ramadhan. How much is Fitrana? The required quantity of fitrana was described by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as one saa’ of staple food. The monetary equivalent of this today is £5.00, however, if a person is well off they may pay more. Who needs to pay Fitrana? Fitrana is compulsory on a person if the total value of his zakatable assets equals the zakat nisaab or more. A man must also pay it on behalf of his child and voluntarily on his wife’s behalf. If he does not, it will be obligatory on the woman to pay it herself. Fitrana is to be given to the poor and needy. It is an obligation to pay it before the Eid prayer, however, it is preferable for it to be paid in advance. This is so it can reach the needy in advance, so they may use that money for their Eid preparations. Donate your Fitrana to Al-Ihsaan Trust to fulfill your obligation and help provide a happier Eid for the needy.

Fidyah/ Kaffarah

Fidya Fasting during Ramadan is an important and gratifying aspect of faith; it is the fourth pillar of Islam and is a tough act of worship. Allah allows Muslims who cannot complete the fast due to circumstances beyond their control to compensate for the fast. The act to compensate for missed fasts is known as the ‘Fidya’. It is an obligatory payment that Muslims must make if they cannot fast for a reasonable cause and will not be able to make up the fasts later. According to Islamic law, one must utilize their Fidya to offer two meals for people in need for every fast they have skipped during Ramadan. The charity is done in exchange for fasts missed by someone due to illness or old age in Ramadan. Fidya is only accepted for genuinely missed fasts and not for the deliberate omission of fasting days. People who are qualified to pay Fidya for not fasting: Pregnant women People suffering from long-term illnesses Individuals who get sick for a brief period during Ramadan People on medication Kaffara Kaffara is a religious donation of money or food made to help those in need. Kaffara is made for fasts missed unnecessarily – for example, if someone breaks a fast in the month of Ramadan without a valid reason. To make up for the broken fast must free one slave and if unable to do so, they must fast continuously for 60 days. If they are unable to do that, they have to give charitable compensation for the cost of an average meal for 60 poor people. In the UK, the 2021 Kaffara rate is £5 per person, amounting to £300 for each intentionally broken fast. Paying a Kaffarah is also necessary for Islam for breaking a promise or an oath.

Aqeeqah

Aisha (RA) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said: “Slaughter two comparable sheep for a male newborn and one sheep for a female.” [Timidhi] Importance of Aqeeqah At Al-Ihsaan Trust, we are dedicated to serving and supporting the most vulnerable.  There are millions who endure poverty, drought, malnutrition, and even starvation.

Qurbani

Qurbani is observed by Muslims in order to honor the sacrifice that Ibrahim (AS) was prepared to make as he demonstrated the level of devotion and submission Allah (SWT) expects. Performing Qurbani is an important part of being a Muslim; it demonstrates your obedience and dedication to Allah (SWT) and ensures you are following His wishes by supporting those in need around the world. What are the benefits of giving Qurbani? For those who offer the sacrifice, Allah has promised immense rewards and vast forgiveness as the Qurbani ritual also symbolizes the slaughter of our own despicable nature. For the recipients of the Qurbani meat, the benefit of animal sacrifice is that they are able to celebrate the joy Eid-ul-Adha. According to most Muslims, Qurbani is highly recommended and according to the Hanafi madhab, it's obligatory for every sane adult Muslim male/female who has wealth in excess of his/her needs. Normally, if you're eligible to pay Zakat, then you're also obliged in the Hanafi madhab to give Qurbani.

Ramadan Family Iftar Packs

The benefit of feeding a fasting person. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have his sins forgiven, will be saved from hell fire, and will have the same reward as the fasting person without diminishing the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.”The Companions said, “Not all of us find that with which to feed a fasting person.” The Prophet replied, “God gives this reward to whoever breaks the fast of another even with a sip of milk, a date, or a drink of water.”   Imagine the reward of feeding a whole family for a whole month.  

Iftar Meals

Whoever feeds a hungry and fasting person will be compensated with forgiveness of sins and salvation of his soul from Hell. He will also receive a reward equal to that of the person he feeds, without causing him any reduction." The righteous salaf was keen to provide food for others and they thought that this was one of the best of righteous deeds. Many of the salafs used to give up their iftaar for others, such as ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him), Dawood al-Taa’i, Maalik ibn Dinar, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Ibn ‘Umar used only to break his fast with orphans and the poor and needy.
