OUR ZAKAT POLICY

How we handle your zakat

Your zakat is held in a separate fund and never mixed with general donations. It is paid only to those eligible to receive it, among the eight categories named in the Qur’an (al-Tawbah 9:60). We distribute it to [the poor and the needy], verified by our partner on the ground. We use the silver nisab.

The poor (al-fuqarāʾ)

The needy (al-masākīn)

Those who administer zakat

Those whose hearts are to be reconciled

Freeing those in bondage

Those in debt

In the cause of Allah
