In reply to fkamel.

Thanks for reaching out to us.

They are two different types of zakaah: 1) Zakaat Al-Fitr and 2) Zakaah Al-Maal (zakaah on one’s wealth). This article helps clarify the difference between the two: http://islamqa.info/en/49632. Here’s more on how Zakaat Al-Fitr can be paid: http://islamqa.info/en/1396

I hope this helps!

Jazakallah khair,as a revert, I am a little confused about the Zakah al Fitr vs the 2.5% zakat. If you could post something. My husband use to take care of this but now I am on my own.

In reply to Musthafa. Quoting from the article:"However, if one is able to get the Zakah al-Fitr to the needy overseas BEFORE Eid prayer is conducted in their locality, then in sha Allah it’s alright."
