It is obligatory on the individual who is sane, adult (physically mature), and wealthy (whose finances are secure through available assets or continuous income). Zakat al-Fitrah is the equivalent of three kilograms (about 6.6 pounds) of a popular food such as rice or wheat (per person). This is a $15 (US Dollar) minimum equivalent per eligible person. For example, a family of 5 would pay US $75.
