As Ramadan 2025 comes to an end, Muslims across Egypt are preparing to fulfill their Zakat Al-Fitr obligation. This year, Dar Al-Ifta Egypt has set the minimum Zakat Al-Fitr value at 35 EGP per person, ensuring that those in need can celebrate Eid Al-Fitr with dignity. With digital platforms making donations easier than ever, Egyptians have multiple ways to contribute, from traditional cash payments to online giving.
How Much is Zakat Al-Fitr in Egypt for 2025?
The official amount for Zakat Al-Fitr is based on the cost of staple food items like wheat, rice, or dates. In 2025, Dar Al-Ifta Egypt has announced that the recommended minimum per person is 35 EGP. However, those who can afford to give more are encouraged to do so.
