Eid al-Fitr budget: clothes, sweets, gifts and zakat
AmanaFi team · Updated · 1 min read
Eid al-Fitr concentrates several expenses right after Ramadan: clothes, sweets, children's gifts, visits. An envelope set in advance keeps the joy of the celebration without unbalancing the following month.
Items to plan
Note what you really want to do.
- Children's clothes and shoes.
- Sweets and festive meals.
- Gifts and money for children.
- Travel for family visits.
- Zakat al-fitr and sadaqah.
Spread it out to avoid being caught
As Eid follows Ramadan, plan them together: save monthly for the whole of Ramadan and Eid, rather than discovering the bill at the end of the fast.
Celebrate without excess
One well-chosen outfit beats several impulsive purchases. Set a ceiling with the children and let them choose within it. Think of those who cannot buy new clothes: sharing part of the envelope gives the celebration meaning.
Frequently asked
Must I buy new clothes at any cost?
No. Tradition encourages looking well, not going into debt. Clean, neat clothes are fine, new or not.
