The following is a guide or procedure for paying zakat fitrah:

1. The time has come to pay zakat.

The most important step in paying zakat fitrah is knowing the time. The time to pay zakat fitrah is at the beginning of the month of Ramadan until before the takbir sounds during Eid al-Fitr prayers. However, the recommendation for implementation is to prioritize after dawn on Shawwal 1 until before the Eid al-Fitr prayer.

2. Ensure the amount of zakat fitrah that must be paid.

The next step, you need to know how much zakat you have to pay. The amount of zakat is adjusted to the assets owned by each Muslim. The amount of zakat fitrah that has been determined is 1 shaq of dates or wheat which, if converted into rice, is 2.5 kg of rice. The amount of zakat fitrah cannot be less than the provisions, however if you want to give more than these provisions it is permissible.

Apart from zakat fitrah with rice, you can pay zakat with assets such as money, gold, or the like. The amount of zakat for payment of assets like this can be adjusted to the income or fixed income received each month.

3. Read prayers or intentions before paying zakat.

Before carrying out various activities and especially when they want to perform worship, Muslims are required to read a prayer or intention before doing something. Reading or reciting the intention can be done openly or secretly. The intention to pay zakat also varies depending on the subject who wants to pay it, for example the intention to pay zakat for oneself, or for the family, or other people.

4. Read prayers or intentions after paying zakat.

Just like before performing worship, after carrying it out, Muslims are advised to recite a prayer after successfully performing worship. The prayers offered after paying zakat are as follows:

"Allahumma ij'alha maghnaman, wa la taj'alha maghraman"

Meaning: "O Allah, make this (my zakat) a savings for me (for this world and the hereafter) and do not make it a fine (which causes anxiety in my heart)."

That is the intention of zakat fitrah and the procedures for fulfilling it, for yourself or others. The hope is that after you understand the reading of the intention to pay zakat fitrah as above, along with the procedures for implementing it, you can immediately pay off your obligations in accordance with the rules of Islamic law.
