Dream - Towards the end of the month of Ramadan, Muslims have another obligation that must be fulfilled immediately, namely paying zakat fitrah. The payment of zakat fitrah aims to cleanse oneself from minor sins that occur during the fasting month. Not only that, zakat fitrah also has social value. It is a form of solidarity towards those who are truly in need. Therefore, zakat fitrah must be given to those who are eligible to receive it. Do not let those who are not eligible to receive it, actually receive the zakat fitrah.

Zakat Fitrah also aims to help those who are less fortunate so that they can celebrate Eid al-Fitr properly. The procedure for giving zakat fitrah begins in the month of Ramadan, specifically before Eid al-Fitr. Every eligible Muslim individual is required to give zakat fitrah in a certain amount. The value of zakat fitrah is determined based on the local staple food, such as rice, wheat, dates, or a certain amount of money. The zakat fitrah per person is usually equivalent to one staple food item.

In releasing zakat fitrah, it is important to have sincere and pure intentions solely for the sake of Allah SWT. It should be understood that this intention is an act of worship and obligation for every capable Muslim. This intention should preferably be made before giving zakat fitrah, in order to attain the pleasure and blessings from Allah SWT. In order to fulfill the obligation of zakat fitrah, we must follow the established procedures.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "This procedure involves determining the amount of zakat fitrah, calculating it for each family member, and distributing zakat fitrah to those who are eligible to receive it through established channels. By performing zakat fitrah wholeheartedly and sincerely, we can achieve the main goal of zakat fitrah, which is to maintain the blessings of wealth, purify the soul, and help those who are less fortunate to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with deserving happiness."

Here is the explanation: "There are five people to whom zakat cannot be given: (a) wealthy individuals or those with a stable income; (b) slaves; (c) the Bani Hashim tribe; (d) the Bani Muthalib tribe. Even if they refuse to accept one-fifth of the spoils of war, zakat cannot be given to them, but they are allowed to receive regular charity. (e) Non-believers, in some texts, zakat for non-believers is not valid. And those whose livelihood is the responsibility of the zakat payer cannot receive zakat in the name of the poor, but it can be given in the name of someone who is engaged in jihad or someone who is in debt, for example." (Fathul Qarib)

Through the explanation above, the people who are not eligible to receive zakat fitrah are as follows:
Rich people
Slaves
Bani Hasyim, namely Prophet Muhammad and his family
Bani Muthalib, namely relatives of Prophet Muhammad
Disbelievers.
