Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): I have created mankind only for My worship. Surah Jariyat, verse-51/56
If there is any deviation in the worship of the human race, Allah has made arrangements to make up for it. Fasting is one of the acts of worship of Almighty Allah. And in order to make up for all the errors and omissions in the observance of this fast, Allah has made provision for the payment of Sadaqatul Fitr. It is not appropriate to change and refine this provision for our convenience. Because Islam is the only infallible, flawless and complete system of life. When Deen Islam has reached perfection, it is very important to keep the doubt of imperfection in mind.
Sadaqatul Fitr on which it is obligatory:
Sadaqatul Fitr is obligatory for all Muslim men and women, young and old. In this regard, Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made it obligatory on the slaves and freemen of his ummah, men and women, young and old, one-sixth of the amount of dates or barley to be paid before leaving for Eid. Instructed to. (Bukhari – Muslim, Mishkat H / 1615).
If a person dies on the morning of Eid, it is not obligatory for him to pay Fitra. Again, if a child is born on the morning of Eid, it is obligatory for him to pay Fitra. Sadaqatul Fitr is the chadka of life, not of wealth. Therefore, it is obligatory for all living Muslims to pay their dues. Even if a person is able to observe Shiaam, Fitra is obligatory for him. (Miraat 7/175 p.)
Amount of Sadaqatul Fitr :
One gram of food grain per head should be collected for everyone as Sadaqatul Fitr . Chha ‘is a kind of weighing vessel of that time. The best wheat weighs 2 kg 40 gm in the time of Nabi Kareem (R). Different crops have different weights. One teaspoon of rice weighs about 2 kg 500 g. However, one gram of wheat, barley, maize, dates, etc. weighs more than 2 kg 225 grams. One kg of Iraqi rice weighs 2 kg 400 gm or proof size four handfuls of rice. At present in our country one and a half kg of rice is produced.
Duration of payment and distribution of Sadaqatul Fitr :
It is obligatory to collect Sadaqatul Fitr a day or two before Eid and distribute it afterwards. Before Eid-ul-Fitr, Sahabaye Keram used to deposit Fitra with the Baitul Maal depositor.
This is the Sunnat method of collecting the adaqatul Fitr , which should be distributed among the right holders after the Eid salat [Bukhari H / 1511, Zakat Chapter Paragraph-77
The expiation and expiation of the Ramadan
God has made fasting obligatory for His servants in the month of Ramadan. The servant observes it eagerly. If for any reason he is not able to fast on time, he has to pay the qaza, and if he breaks the fast due to some excuse or inconvenience, he has to pay the qaza later. Qaza is a fast instead of a fast. Kazaa Roza can be conveniently performed at any time, it is not necessary to perform all Kazaa Roza together. Allaah is very displeased when one breaks the fast without any excuse due to deception or persecution. For this both qaza and kaffara have to be paid.
Atonement can be paid in three ways.
First, to free a slave or free a slave,
Second, to observe 60 consecutive fasts.
Third, to feed or entertain 60 poor people with double satisfaction.
Qaza is one instead of one roza, and Kaffara is 60. Without such an excuse, the number of fasts he breaks will be one qaza instead of each, and an expiation will be added to it for the same month of Ramadan. In other words, if a fast is broken without a logical reason, there will be 61 fasts and expiation for it, if two fasts are broken, there will be 72 fasts, and if there are three breaks, there will be 63 fasts. If 30 similar fasts are broken, there will be 90 fasts.
The fast of expiation has to be realized by maintaining continuity together. If a person has a total of 81 or more including qaza and kaffara, then he has to perform at least 61 consecutive fasts. If the expiation breaks or breaks in the middle of the fast, another expiation will become obligatory. In other words, if there is a break before 71 is completed, you have to start from 1 again and complete 71 again. The fasts that are observed will be considered as nafl. It is forgivable to break it due to any acceptable excuse or misfortune. Women have to be paid continuously except for special breaks.
Kaffara, fidiya and sadaqatul fitr can be given to those who can accept zakat, that is, fard and wajib sadaqa. Namely: ‘Fakir, Miskin, Sadaqah worker, devoted person and new Muslim, slave, debtor, Jihad in the way of Allah and foreign traveler in danger.’ (Surah 9 Tawbah, verse: 70).
