YOGYAKARTA Muslims must know that zakat is one of the pillars of Islam and the provisions cannot be done haphazardly. One of the provisions of this Islamic harmony that needs to be known is related to the deadline for paying zakat fitrah.

Quoted from the Baznas website, zakat is a certain part of the assets that must be spent by each Muslim if they have reached the requirements. In Indonesia, zakat is paid in the form of 2.5 kg or 3.5 liters of rice, but it can also be given in the form of money equivalent to the price of the rice.

Perly is known that the implementation of zakat began in the early Ramadan. However, the deadline for payment of zakat fitrah in a maximum sharia is after the end of the 1st of Syawwal.

Quoted from NU Online, zakat paid after the end of the 1st of Syawwal was punished with haram. Meanwhile, zakat paid after Eid al-Fitr prayer until 1 Syawwal ended (during sunset on Eid Al-Fitr) then the law was chaotic or should not be carried out.

Based on the sharia law regarding zakat, committees or institutions that receive zakat in Indonesia usually have their own policies related to the deadline for paying zakat. For example, Baznas sets the limit for receiving zakat is that the Eid prayer is carried out, while the distribution to zakat recipients (mustahik) is carried out before the implementation of Eid al-Fitr prayer.

However, there is also a zakat body that decides to receive zakat no later than one day before Eid Al-Fitr arrives so that the distribution of zakat can be done more easily.

Quoted from NU Online, Deputy Secretary of the Bahtsul Masail Institute for the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board (LBM PBNU) Alhafiz Kurniawan in his article explained that the Syafi'I mazhab scholars divided zakat fitrah into five times. Each time has its own Shari'a law. The five times are as follows.

Zakat fitrah can be paid from the beginning until the end of Ramadan. Zakat that is paid at that time is punished with abah alias permissible.

At this time the payment of zakat is mandatory, aka it must be carried out. Payments can be made at the local zakat receipt agency.

Payment of zakat may be made before Eid prayers take place, starting from the night of takbiran until the morning before Eid prayers are performed. This time is punished with sunnah.

Payment of zakat is punishable if it is carried out after the Eid prayer until 1 Syawal is over. Makruh himself means that it is not prohibited explicitly but is not liked.

Avoid paying zakat after 1 Syawwal ended because the act was illegally punished.

In addition to the payment time, it is advisable to know who is obliged to pay zakat fitrah.
