🌙 🙏 Ministry Announces Zakat Al Fitr Rate For Ramadan 2025

As Ramadan continues, it’s important to remember the charitable practices that make this month so special. One of the key acts of generosity is Zakat Al Fitr, and the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf) has just announced the amount for this year. 🌙

The rate for 1446 AH has been set at 2.5 kg of rice or 15 Qatari riyals, in line with local market prices and Shariah rulings. Zakat Al Fitr is a meaningful way to purify your fast and help those in need, and it holds great religious significance. 🙏 It’s all about reinforcing the values of compassion and solidarity that are so important during Ramadan. 💖

The Ministry encourages everyone to pay their Zakat Al Fitr early so that the Zakat Affairs Department can distribute it to those who need it most, helping them celebrate Eid with happiness and joy. 🎉

Let’s make sure our acts of kindness this Ramadan bring even more joy to those around us! ✨
