Zakat al-Fiṭr (also called Fiṭrah) is a mandatory charity given at the end of Ramadan.

It:

1. Purifies the fast from shortcomings
2. Ensures those in need can celebrate Eid with dignity
3. Is required from almost every Muslim household

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined Zakat al‑Fitr as purification for the fasting person from idle talk and improper speech and as food for the poor.” - Abu Dawud
