Before paying zakat fitrah, it would be better for you to know about the criteria for legal periods based on Islamic law. It contains various laws regarding the timing of zakat payments, starting from permissible to haram. The hadith of the Prophet Muhammad which narrates this matter has been narrated by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah.
This hadith reads, "The Messenger of Allah required zakat fitrah as a purification for those who fast from vain speech and vile speech, and as a means of providing food for the poor. Whoever pays it before the Eid prayer, then he receives zakat. But whoever pays it after the Eid prayer, then it counts as an ordinary sunnah alms."
Here are 5 times for paying zakat fitrah that you need to know.
The permissible time for making zakat payments starts from the 1st of the month of Ramadan. Mubah is a term in Islam which is interpreted as permissible or permissible. Mubah law is also the permissibility of everything because it does not violate any Islamic sharia law. Therefore, permissible time is permitted time. Every Muslim is allowed to pay zakat fitrah starting from the date of the 1st of Ramadan. As for paying zakat fitrah before entering the 1st of Ramadan, it means that it is prohibited or not permitted.
The obligatory time to pay zakat fitrah is at the end of the last few days of the month of Ramadan until the 1st of Shawwal. In Islam, everything that refers to mandatory law is an activity that must be done and must not be abandoned. If you do obligatory deeds, you will definitely get a reward, and if you leave them, you will get sin. Thus, the time required to pay zakat fitrah is the last few days of the month of Ramadan, starting from the last 10 days, until the 1st of Shawwal.
You are free to choose one of the times between these provisions. Anyone who has enough to pay zakat fitrah within that time period, is required to set aside a small amount of his wealth to pay zakat. Zakat fitrah payments can be made to yourself, your partner, family, or representatives of other people. The most important thing is its validity and also the intention to pay zakat fitrah to gain His blessing.

The sunnah time for paying zakat fitrah is the time after the morning prayer until before the start of the Eid al-Fitr prayer. In Islam, everything that refers to the behavior, words and commands of the Prophet Muhammad SAW is sunnah. Sunnah is the second level after obligatory, so the meaning of sunnah is that if the practice is done you will get a reward, and if the practice is not done you will not get anything.
More simply, sunnah practices are practices that the Prophet Muhammad SAW recommended for Muslims to practice. The time recommended by Rasulullah SAW to pay zakat fitrah is starting after the completion of the Maghrib prayer on the last day of Ramadan until the start of the Eid al-Fitr prayer. When the sound of takbiran is heard throughout the country, you should immediately pay zakat fitrah.
The time allowed for paying zakat fitrah is the time after the completion of the Eid al-Fitr prayer until the end of Shawwal 1. In Islam, Makruh is any act that is not forbidden/absolutely prohibited because it violates Islamic law, but is recommended not to be done because it has the potential to lead to things that are forbidden or harm other people.
Therefore, whoever does makruh actions will not receive any reward, while those who abandon makruh actions will get a reward. As for the time that is still allowed to pay zajat fitrah, it is better to do it before that time, starting from after the Eid al-Fitr prayer has finished, until the evening call to prayer arrives on Shawwal 1. Anyone who wants to pay zakat fitrah outside the specified time period is considered haram.
The forbidden time to pay zakat fitrah is after Shawwal 1 ends. In Islam, haram is the law for all actions that are prohibited from being carried out. The reason is because the action is not appropriate or even violates the Islamic shari'ah that has been established. Whoever commits a prohibited act will surely suffer a sin and his deeds will not be accepted.
Therefore, Muslims should not pay zakat fitrah beyond the 1st of Shawwal. If someone still wants to set aside some of their wealth after the end of the zakat period, then this practice will be recorded as alms.
That's the article about the 5 times for paying zakat fitrah. The hope is that once you know the information regarding the timing of paying zakat fitrah, you can pay off the worship according to the recommended time. It would be better if you did it at the sunnah time, and you should avoid times that are makruh or haram. Hopefully this information is useful!
