Fitrana and Fidyah Values Announced for 2025 by Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, renowned religious scholar and former Chairman of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, has announced the minimum values for Fitrana and Fidyah for 2025. In his latest statement, he emphasized the importance of fulfilling these charitable obligations according to one’s financial capacity.

Understanding Fitrana and Fidyah

Fitrana, also known as Sadqa-e-Fitr, is an obligatory charity that must be given before Eid-ul-Fitr to help those in need. Every Muslim who possesses wealth beyond their basic needs is required to pay Fitrana for themselves and their dependents.

On the other hand, Fidyah is a compensation paid by individuals who are unable to fast due to illness, old age, or other valid reasons. The amount varies based on different food items.

Minimum Fitrana and Fidyah Amounts for 2025

Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman has set the following values for Fitrana and Fidyah per person:

• Wheat Flour – Rs. 240
• Barley – Rs. 700
• Premium Dates – Rs. 4000
• High-Quality Raisins – Rs. 6400

Kaffara (Compensation for Broken Fast)

For those who intentionally break a fast without a valid reason, Kaffara must be paid, which involves:

• Feeding two meals to 60 needy individuals OR
• Paying an equivalent amount in food items

Mufti Muneeb stressed that individuals with greater financial means should give Fitrana, Fidyah, and Kaffara according to their wealth, as this act of charity is a way to purify wealth and help those in need during Ramadan.

Why Is It Important to Pay Fitrana and Fidyah on Time?

Fitrana and Fidyah should be paid before Eid prayers so that the less fortunate can also celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with dignity. Delaying these obligations defeats the purpose of supporting those in need in a timely manner.

By fulfilling these charitable responsibilities, Muslims can seek blessings, purify their wealth, and uphold the spirit of generosity and compassion in Ramadan.

Conclusion

Fulfilling religious obligations such as Fitrana, Fidyah, and Kaffara is not only a duty but a means of supporting the underprivileged. Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman’s guidance ensures that people can make informed decisions about their contributions.

Make sure to pay your Fitrana and Fidyah before Eid-ul-Fitr to help those in need.
