Fitr Zakat
Collect Fitr Zakat per person in cash or rice before Eid, buy rice, and hand each household its share.
What it does
- A season (for example Fitr 1448) has a rate per person in cash and in rice. It moves from collecting, to distributing, to closed.
- Summary: persons covered, families paid, cash in hand, rice in stock, collected, given, still to give and surplus. Statement PDF.
- Collect: from one of your families (the number of people is filled in) or anyone by name, with persons, cash and rice. If the amount does not match persons × rate, a reason is asked.
- Families: who has paid and who has not, with a WhatsApp reminder button for unpaid families.
- Distribution: households to receive, each with a share of cash and rice. Approve them, then Hand over.
- Rice & expenses: buying rice with Fitr cash moves money into stock and is not an expense; packing and transport are expenses.
- History, with Cancel and a reason (admins and treasurers).
- Collectors see only Collect: it uses the season that is open.

Questions
Can one family pay part in cash and part in rice?
Yes. Enter both. The app checks that cash and rice together cover the number of persons, and asks for a reason if not.
Is rice bought with Fitr money an expense?
No. It moves money from cash into rice stock in the same season. Only costs like packing and transport are expenses.
