When is sadaqah al-fitr given?
Sadaqah al-fitr becomes obligatory with the break of the dawn on the first day of Ramadan Festival (eid al-fitr) but it can be given during the month of Ramadan too. It is better to give it before the eid so that the poor can meet their needs for the eid. However, if sadaqah al-fitr has not been paid until the morning of the eid, it is necessary to pay it on the days of the eid. The sadaqah al-fitr that has not been paid on time must be paid as soon as possible.
