The Maldives Zakat House has launched the collection of Zakat al-Fitr in line with the start of the holy month of Ramadan.

Contributions for Zakat al-Fitr will be accepted online starting from 1 Ramadan and continuing until 6 a.m. on 27 Ramadan. Donations can be made through five digital platforms: the Dhiraagu mobile app, the Dhiraagu Pay website, the Ooredoo M-Faisaa app, the Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB) mobile app, the Bank of Maldives (BML) mobile app, and the FahiPay mobile app. The Bandeyri Pay website will also facilitate contributions. FahiPay and Bandeyri Pay will remain open for donations until the last day of Ramadan.

For individuals without access to online services, the Zakat House has set up physical zakat collection counters at the Islamic Centre. These counters will be operational during the final ten days of Ramadan, which have been declared government holidays by President Dr Mohamed Muizzu.

From 2 to 20 March, the counters will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 23 to 30 March, they will operate from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additionally, residents of outer islands can make in-person and cash payments through their local councils.

The Zakat House has also announced the nisab (minimum amount for zakat eligibility) for various staple foods.
