8 Basic Errors Muslims make when Paying Zakat Al-Fitr

I feel compelled to put this together because I’ve seen
the following errors being committed even since I was a
young boy. In sha Allah, you can help me spread the word by
sharing this article with your community, friends and
family.

What is Zakat ul-Fitr? Think “Iftar”, Zakat Ul-Fitr is
the charity that we pay at the end of Ramadan. Here is the
foundational hadith that establishes the obligation of
Zakat ul-Fitr:

Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa
sallam), made Zakat al-Fitr compulsory on every slave,

From the Quran-

“To any that desires the soil of the Hereafter, We will increase

Narrated Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard Allâh’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) saying, When you see the crescent (of the moon) for the month of Ramadân, start observing Saum (fast), and when you see the crescent (of the moon) for the month of Shawwâl, stop observing Saum (fast); and if the sky is overcast and you can’t see it (the crescent) then regard the month as having 30 days. (Bukhari)

عَن ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: (إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَصُومُوا، وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ). يَعْنِي: هِلاَلَ رَمَضَانَ. (البخاري)

Narrated Ibn `Abbâs (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (may peace be upon him) was cupped (process of removing bad blood with a vacuum and a cup) while he was in the state of Ihrâm, and also while he was observing a Saum (fast). (Al Bukhari)

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم احْتَجَمَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، واحْتَجَمَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ. (البخاري)
