The importance of Zakat al-Fitr

Zakat al-Fitr keeps death away

Some people are lax in paying Zakat al-Fitr, While; is one of the emphasized obligations of religion.

Therefore, you must give Fitri on behalf of yourself and your family members who are dependent on you: It does not matter whether they are big or small, whether they are Muslims or infidels, or whether they are fasting or not.

Therefore, should not delay in paying Zakat al-Fitr because it was narrated from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) that he said:

Pay the fitrah of your family and don't forget the fitrah of any of them, otherwise, I am afraid that their death will come.
