Henna tattoo stickers prevent water from reaching the skin. It is, therefore, a must to remove them before making wuḍū. Sisters are advised to stick with the original Henna dye as it does not affect the validity of wuḍū.

Brief Notes On The Most Important Rulings Of Zakaatul-Fitr

Main Hadiths On Zakaatul-Fitr

Hadith 1:

"عَنِ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: ((فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-زَكَاةَ اَلْفِطْرِ, صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ, أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ: عَلَى اَلْعَبْدِ وَالْحُرِّ, وَالذَّكَرِ, وَالْأُنْثَى, وَالصَّغِيرِ, وَالْكَبِيرِ, مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ, وَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُؤَدَّى قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ اَلنَّاسِ إِلَى اَلصَّلَاةِ )). مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ.‏"

Ibn ’Umar (رضي الله عنه) narrated, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) enjoined the payment of one sa' of dates or one sa' of barley as Zakatul-fitr on every Muslim, slave or free, male or female, young or old, and he ordered that it be paid before the people went out to offer the 'Id prayer.’

[Agreed upon]

Hadith 2:

"وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اَلْخُدْرِيِّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: ((كُنَّا نُعْطِيهَا فِي زَمَانِ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ, أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ, أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ, أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ زَبِيبٍ)). مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) narrated, “We used to offer it (Zakatul-fitr) during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) as one sa’ of food or one sa' of dates, or one sa' of barley or one sa' of raisins.’’

[Agreed upon]

Hadith 3:

"وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: ((فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-زَكَاةَ اَلْفِطْرِ; طُهْرَةً لِلصَّائِمِ مِنَ اَللَّغْوِ, وَالرَّفَثِ, وَطُعْمَةً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ, فَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا قَبْلَ اَلصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ زَكَاةٌ مَقْبُولَةٌ, وَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا بَعْدَ اَلصَّلَاةِ فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ مِنَ اَلصَّدَقَاتِ))1.‏ رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلْحَاكِم ُ .‏"

Ibn ’Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) narrated, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) enjoined Zakatul-fitr on the one who fasts (i.e. fasted during the month of Ramadan) to purify him from any indecent act or speech and for the purpose of providing food for the needy. It is accepted as Zakah for the person who pays it before the Eid prayer and it is Sadaqah (i.e. voluntary charity) for the person who pays it after the Eid prayer.’

Rullings Pertaining To Zakaatul-Fitr

1: Zakaatul-fitr is wajib according to the most correct view, which is the view of the majority of the scholars.

2: The wisdom behind zakaatul-fitr is to purify the Muslim from sins, to expiate any shortcomings which took place in his fasting in Ramadan and to feed the needy.

3: Zakaatul-fitr is an obligation upon every Muslim. Children and adults, males and females, sane or insane. This is by consensus.

4: It's upon the husband to give the zakaatul-fitr for his wife and dependent children according to the view of the majority of scholars. It's also the view of Ibnu Taymiya.

5: The orphans give zakaatul-fitr from their own wealth. This is the view of the majority of the scholars.

6: There is no set nisaab (limit) like the zakaat of money which determine when zaakatul-fitr becomes obligated upon a particular person. However, the criterion for that is; the one who has extra over his day and night meal. So based upon this, even the poor one who finds that extra is to give because it's a must for him to purify himself.

7: Zakaatul-fitr is to be given in food only, from the types of foods which are prominent in that country (rice, wheat, dates etc.)

8: One should try and give the best of foods and most beneficial to the needy. This is more rewarding no doubt.

9: It's not permissible to give out food in bad condition for zakaatul-fitr.

10: The quantity of the food for zakaatul-fitr is four palms (of two normal handfuls). This measument is the same for all types of food.

11. One can give the zakaatul-fitr by using weight scales. However the measurements will differ in the variety of foods. So there is no one weight scale for all foods as it's the case when using your two palms, which is highly encouraged to implement by the scholars.

12: The weight for dates: (3.8kg)
Rice: (2.55kg)
Brown flower: (2.45kg)
White flower: (2kg)
Wheat: (1.5kg)

13: Zakaatul-fitr is to be given in food only, not by money! This is the view of the majority of the scholars. Rather, giving it in cash is an innovation and will not be accepted!, and it's upon him to repeat with food, and the burden is not lifted from his neck until he carries out this act of worship as prescribed in the sunnah.

14: Zakaatul-fitr is to be given specially to the poor and needy from the Muslims only, and prefably to the righteous.

Ibnu Taymiya states: "Those who don't pray from the needy are not to be given anything until they repent."

15: It's best for one to give his zakaatul-fitr himself in his own country. However, it is allowed to entrust others to carry it out on his behalf in the case where he's busy or there are no needy Muslims in his country of abode.

16: You can give your zakaatul-fitr to your close relatives who are poor, those who it is not an obligation upon you to provide for. E.g. your sisters, brothers, cousins, uncles etc. As for those who it's upon you to provide for, like your wife, kids and parents, then it's not permissible to give to them.

17: The prescibed time to give zakaatul-fitr is on eid day. You must give your zakaatul-fitr before the eid prayer.

18: It's a sin to delay zakaatul-fitr outside its prescribed time without a valid reason. If one does this then it's invalid as zakaatul-fitr.

19: The one who delayed it from its time for a valid excuse, like the one who forgot, or he didn't know today was Eid, he gives it and he's rewarded inshallah, similar to the situation with the prayer.

20: As for the one who delays it deliberately, he is a sinner, and it's upon him to make towba (repentance). And must he give it anyway, it will count as a general sadaqa on his behalf inshallah. This is the view of the majority of the scholars (that it doesn't drop from him).

21: It's not permissible to give the zakaatul-fitr before its prescribed time without a valid reason. But one can give his zakaatul-fitr before the day of Eid by a day or two or more to an entrustee who will distribute it on the day of Eid before the Salah.

Walhamdulilaah.

How Women Should Go Out On The Day Of Eid

Imam Ibn Qudama rahimahullah wrote:

“Verily it is recommended for them [the women] to come out not perfumed and not wearing a clothing of fame/popularity nor adornment. They should come out in the clothing they wear when serving/working due to the statement of the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salaam:

لِيَخْرُجْنَ وَهُنَّ تَفِلاَت
ٌ
“but they may go out (to the mosque) having not perfumed themselves”

[Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 565]

They should not mix with the men, but be to the side of them”.

[Mughni (2/116)]

Imam al-‘Adheemabaadi rahimahullah explained the above Hadith saying:

“That is, not perfumed. It is said a woman is ( تفلة) if her scent changes. That is what Ibn Abdul Barr said and others said. That is what Shawkaani said. In al-Ma’aalim it states: ( التفل) is a bad scent. A woman is said to be ( تفلة) if she is not perfumed and women are called ( تفلات) [end quote]. Verily, they were ordered that and prohibited from perfume as in the narration of Muslim ibn Zaynab so that they do not stir the men by their perfume. Connected to perfume is whatever takes its meaning from the things that stir the desires, like good clothing and jewelry whose traces are seen and luxurious adornment”.

[‘Awn al-Ma’bood]

However, some of the Salaf interpreted the word (تفلات ) to mean without perfume, instead of smelling bad.

حدثنا هشيم عن يونس عن الحسن قال : كن النساء يجمعن مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكان يقال : لا تخرجن إلا تفلات لا يوجد منكن ريح طيب

Hasan al-Basri rahimahullah said: “The women used to gather with the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam and it used to be said: Do not come out except (تفلات) a good scent should not be present with you”

[Reported by Ibn Abi Shaybah in his Musannaf and graded Saheeh by al-Albani in al-Ajwibah an-Nafiah pg. 48]

Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad hafidhuhallah explained it as:

“There is not with them a good scent. Verily, they come out in their usual scent which does not have perfume. Verily they come out of their houses without beautifying and perfuming. The intent of (التفلة) is without perfume. So she comes out with the scent, that which upon her (and) without using perfume”

[Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood no.78]

While a woman does not have to wear the clothing she wears while serving or working, she should wear a jilbab on the day of Eid.

Proof:

عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ، الْحُيَّضَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدَيْنِ وَذَوَاتِ الْخُدُورِ، فَيَشْهَدْنَ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَدَعْوَتَهُمْ، وَيَعْتَزِلُ الْحُيَّضُ عَنْ مُصَلاَّهُنَّ‏.‏ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِحْدَانَا لَيْسَ لَهَا جِلْبَابٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ “‏ لِتُلْبِسْهَا صَاحِبَتُهَا مِنْ جِلْبَابِهَا ‏”‌‏

Narrated Um Atiya:

We were ordered to bring out our menstruating women and veiled women in the religious gatherings and invocation of Muslims on the two Id festivals. These menstruating women were to keep away from their Musalla. A woman asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ‘ What about one who does not have a veil?” He said, “Let her share the veil of her companion.”

[Al-Bukhari no. 351]

Hafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullah said:

“The intent is her sister who is a friend. It is possible to mean that she shares her thawb with her. What supports this is the version of the Hadith in Abu Dawood: ‘Let her wear some of her clothing’. That is if it is spacious. It is possible that the intent of his statement, ‘her clothing’ is a type of clothing, so it returns to the first. It is taken from this Hadith the permissibility of two women being under or in one clothing when covering. It was said this was mentioned by way of exaggeration”.

[Fath ul-Baari]

Mulla Ali Qaari rahimahullah said:

“In this Hadith is the recommendation of preparing a Jilbaab for a woman, the permissibility of borrowing clothing, and preventing a woman from going out without a Jilbaab”

[Mirqaatul Mafatih (5/32)]

So a woman should wear a Jilbab on the day of Eid and if she does not have one, she should either borrow one from her friend or even wear the same Jilbab as that of her friend! This instruction and guidance of the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam is lost nowadays. In fact, we see the Muslim women, young and old, doing the opposite by wearing all types of revealing clothing on the day of Eid, perfumed, and adorned. The Jilbab for many sisters has been replaced with a summer dress which does not meet the requirements of the Hijab. Let alone those who wear pants and other such clothing. Allahu Mustaan.

We ask Allah to guide our sisters back to the Sunnah and to the example of our pious predecessors. May Allah give them the courage to leave off all this fashion in favor of the clothing of taqwa.

And Allah Knows best

Raising The Hands In The Eid Prayer

Shaikh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wad’iee rahimahullah was asked:

Question: Is the opening takbir in the eid prayer included in the seven takbeerat in the eid prayer? And is the takbir for changing position included in the five takbeerat in the second rakat? And what is the ruling on raising the hands with every takbir?

Answer: “That which is apparent to me is that it is not included. It is a good question and the People of Knowledge mentioned this. Some said that it is included and some say it is not included. What is apparent is that it is not included because after the opening takbeer he opens the prayer and after opening the prayer he makes seven takbeerat. Raising the hands with every takbir is not established”.
