854. OBLIGATORY ALMS-TAX PAYABLE ON ?D AL-FItR ¹

2712.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : مَن أدّى‏ زكاةَ الفِطرَةِ تَمَّمَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بها ما نَقَصَ مِن زكاةِ مالِهِ .²

2712.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'He who pays the obligatory alms-tax at the end of Ramadan, Allah uses it to make up for any deficit in the alms-tax paid on his wealth.' ³

2713.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّ مِن تَمامِ الصَّومِ إعطاءَ الزَّكاةِ - يعني الفِطرَةَ - كما أنَّ الصَّلاةَ على النبِيّ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله مِن تَمامِ الصّلاةِ ، لأ نّه مَن صامَ ولَم يُؤَدِّ الزَّكاةَ فلا صَومَ لَهُ إذا تَرَكَها مُتَعَمِّداً .⁴

2713.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Giving the alms-tax at the end of the month of Ramadan completes and constitutes fasting just as sending blessings on the Prophet (SAWA) at the end of the prayer completes and constitutes the prayer. Verily the one who fasts and yet intentionally does not pay the alms-tax due, his fasting is invalid.' ⁵
