When you give Zakat, you purify your wealth. Give Zakat to needy and poor Muslims
Give two and a half percent of your cash/wealth such as gold and silver jewellery in Zakat every year.

Zakat al-Fitr

It is a requirement for all Muslims to pay Zakat al-Fitr at the conclusion of the month of Ramadan as a token of thankfulness to God for having enabled him or her to observe the obligatory fast. Its purpose is a levy on the fasting person. This is based on the hadith: Muhammad Rasulullah (SAW) said, "The fasting of the month of fasting will be hanging between earth and heavens and it will not be raised up to the Divine Presence without paying the Zakat al-Fitr." To purify those who fast from any indecent act or speech and to help the poor and needy.

The payment of Zakat al-Fitr entails the following:

Zakat al-Fitr must be paid each year before Eid al-Fitr, the feast that follows the fast of the month of Ramadan, to ensure that all the needy are able to celebrate the happy occasion.
Zakat al-Fitr is paid by the head of the family for each one of his dependents including small children.
Zakat al-Fitr should basically be given as specific amount of food. However, it could also be given as money (It is £3 for per person, per family).
