al-Fitr is obligatory once for the entire month, and there is no specific zakat obligatory for each day. The majority of scholars hold the view that giving money as Zakat al-Fitr is not sufficient, whereas the Hanafis and some other scholars permit it. The more cautious approach is to give Zakat al-Fitr in the form of food, not money.
