Bismillah
Jazakum Allah khairan Ahmed for his simple and throrough explanation.
Onle to add that zakat u lfitr must be paid even if u had a new born in the family on the last day of Ramadan. This new born, the father must pay for him/her zakat ul fitr.
Basically the aim is to purify our fast from any potential erros we had done thru the hours of fast as well as bring joy to the needy people.
