Sunan Abi Dawud 1609 (Book 9, Hadith 54) #21901
The Significance of Alms During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad prescribed alms (sadaqah) to be given during the breaking of the fast as a way to purify oneself from empty and obscene talk, and as food for the poor.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah prescribed the sadaqah (alms) relating to the breaking of the fast as a purification of the fasting from empty and obscene talk and as food for the poor. If anyone pays it before the prayer (of 'Id), it will be accepted as zakat. If anyone pays it after the prayer, that will be a sadaqah like other sadaqahs (alms).
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّمَرْقَنْدِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْخَوْلاَنِيُّ، - وَكَانَ شَيْخَ صِدْقٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ يَرْوِي عَنْهُ - حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، - قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ الصَّدَفِيُّ - عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ طُهْرَةً لِلصَّائِمِ مِنَ اللَّغْوِ وَالرَّفَثِ وَطُعْمَةً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ مَنْ أَدَّاهَا قَبْلَ الصَّلاَةِ فَهِيَ زَكَاةٌ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَمَنْ أَدَّاهَا بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَهِيَ صَدَقَةٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give charity during Ramadan.

EXPLANATIONS:
During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset in order to gain spiritual rewards and become closer to Allah. As part of this process, it is important for Muslims to also give alms or sadaqah during this time. This was prescribed by Prophet Muhammad as a way for people to purify themselves from empty and obscene talk while also providing food for those who are less fortunate. If someone pays their alms before the prayer on Eid-ul-Fitr then it will be accepted as zakat; if they pay after then it will be considered a regular sadaqah like any other form of charity. Giving charity is an important part of being Muslim because it helps us remember that we should always help those in need no matter what time of year it is.
