Before the prayer, not after it.
Fitrana is the charity that closes Ramadan. It is paid for every person in your household and it has a deadline: it must reach a family in need before the Eid prayer, so they can meet the day with food on the table.

Why Give Fitrana
The charity that closes Ramadan
Fitrana, properly Zakat al-Fitr, is the charity given at the end of Ramadan. It is due from every Muslim who has food beyond their own needs for the day, and it is paid for each member of the household.
It completes the fast for the person giving it. For a family with nothing, it is food in the house on the one morning of the year when having nothing would be felt most sharply. That is the dignity it protects.
The timing is part of the obligation. It must reach the people it is meant for before the Eid prayer, so it is worth paying early rather than on the morning itself.
Who Can Benefit
Who your Fitrana can reach
Fitrana is meant for people for whom Eid would otherwise pass like any other hard day: households with no reliable income, orphaned children who have lost the person who provided for them, and widows supporting a family alone.
HF Trust UK converts your Fitrana into staple food, bought locally and delivered by our teams in Bangladesh to households they have identified as being in real need.
Need is checked before support is given, not afterwards. Our local teams know these communities, so help reaches the people carrying the most and arrives without a crowd or a camera.
Why Choose Us
Why give your Fitrana through HF Trust UK
A deadline is only met by someone who is already there. Fitrana has to be distributed before the Eid prayer, which makes it a question of logistics as much as intention.
HF Trust UK is a charity registered in England and Wales, working in Bangladesh through established local teams who buy the staples locally and reach households directly. The same teams carry the Trust's ongoing work in orphan care, food, clean water, medical support and emergency relief.
Giving in the last days of Ramadan rather than on Eid morning gives them the time they need to get it there.
Quran & Hadith
Fitrana in the sources
Hadith
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) enjoined Zakat al-Fitr as a purification for the fasting person from idle talk and indecency, and as food for the poor.
Hadith
"Whoever pays it before the Eid prayer, it is an accepted Zakat; and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is an ordinary charity."
Before the Eid Prayer
Do not leave it until Eid morning
Fitrana is the one charity of the year with a clock on it. Given in the last days of Ramadan it arrives in time, and a family in Bangladesh who would have faced Eid with an empty kitchen sits down to a proper meal instead. Set your rate, count your household, and send it.
