As Muslims everywhere observe the month of Ramadan by fasting from dawn to sunset, they are also encouraged to spend time with their families, reflect on their faith and perform charitable deeds.

This also includes paying zakat fitrah (tithe). According to Mohd Sabirin Mohd Sarbini, CEO of Lembaga Zakat Selangor, the purpose of zakat fitrah is to remind Muslims to do their part in helping the needy during Ramadan.
