Most US Muslims always give to charity during Ramadan

When researchers asked a nationally representative group of 1,136 Muslims when they give zakat, 69.3% said they "always" did during Ramadan. Fewer said they always gave during the holiday of Eid al-Adha, at the end of the year or periodically.

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims refrain from all food, beverages and sexual activity from dawn to dusk. Eid al-Adha, another important holiday, occurs at the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. This survey was conducted in 2023.
