Zakat Fitreh

SHAFAQNA – The souls and spirits are cleansed and purified during the holy month of Ramadhan. The wealth also needs to be cleansed by paying Zakat Fitreh as this is the last test of Ramadhan as well as taking part in an important social act. Imam Sadeq (AS) said: The completion of fasting is with paying Zakat (Fitreh) as sending Salawaat to the prophet (PBUH) completes Salaat. For the one who fasts but does not pay Zakat, there is no fasting [1].
